I fell in love with 'Star Trek' after J. J. Abrams's movie. I'm so into that.

Auditions are not a natural environment, and you feel judged, even though everyone is just excited to find the right person.

Just to be on set with Amy Poehler, who's one of my heroes, was a total dream come true.

I'm running on adrenalin when we're shooting. It's non-stop. As soon as I have time to sit down, then I fall asleep.

My favorite actor on the planet is Gena Rowlands and she plays women who, to me, somehow defy gender. They are women, they are feminine, they are masculine, they are everything. There's something exciting about that. I don't know how to articulate it exactly. I guess it's busting out of the archetypes a little bit and not feeling restricted.

I haven't really done a lot of comedy. It's something that terrifies me.

I've learned a lot about the limits of what I can do, as an artist, or what I'm willing to do. It's a lot of responsibility to carry a show and to speak to people on different levels.
