I hate that we look at women who choose not to run a country as having given up. I get angry that, when a woman decides to hold off on gunning for a promotion because she wants to have a baby, other women whisper that 'she's throwing away her potential.' That is when we're not supporting our own. Who are we to put such a limited definition on success?

We kept the old male ideas of success: power and money. We need new ones!

A lot of people in line at the grocery store think that they know me, but they don't.

I'm a little bit of a weirdo - I'm kind of a loner, I didn't go to college, I spend a lot of my time reading. I've been working since I was 17, so that's sort of been my life.

I had a very old woman come up to me on the subway and tell me that the faces that I made in the first episode when a guy is going down on me, that she still makes those faces when her husband goes down on her.

I have a ships bed, which totally plays to my obsession of, if I were not an actress, I would be a pirate.

Comedy arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it.
