I have met a lot of guys in their 40s who have the maturity of a 15 - year-old and men in their 20s who have older sensibilities. They just need to live in their own apartment. That's kind of a deal breaker.

I loved New York, but I never quite felt like New York was my home either.

I don't think it necessarily makes me want to go back to my 20s, but what I love about playing any type of character is the escapism.

Well, I was such a huge fan of Amy Sherman-Palladino and of 'Gilmore Girls.'

Coming from the theatre I have played some fabulous characters where I get to wear gowns and I get to be a princess or someone from the 1920s, or I get to wear showgirl costumes. I'm used to wearing a wardrobe that changes how I feel.

I don't know why he [Darren Star] is so good at writing for women. Maybe he just likes women. I'm not quite sure what the magic recipe is, other than he just knows how to entertain an audience, and he knows when to be gooey and sweet, and when to be provocative and naughty.

I think everybody has something that takes them away or makes them happier. To some people it's baseball or sports or knitting or the movies.
