I found myself again and then found love.

I feel excited about getting older as an actress, too. I think there are some amazing opportunities around the corner and I don't need to hold on to myself or who I was when I was 25.

I think Amy Sherman-Palladino has a very specific voice; it's unlike anyone else on television.

I always say, "Don't let a 'no' or even a dismissal defeat you, let it be the fire that makes you want to go. Every time someone says, "No," that makes me even more determined. That's one of the things I want to try to teach young people. Oddly, the other thing I want to teach the young people is to get a hobby. That's what I first say: "Do something that brings you happiness other than acting, because this business is so fickle." I make blankets and stuffed animals. I don't know. I'm a weirdo.

As long as they're not still living with their parents, [dating younger men] could be viable.

Even when I’m not working, I’m still working on something because I just want to create something.

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.
