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

I went to a strict elementary school with nuns, and uniforms that I'm pretty sure were made out of sandpaper. It was an academic, sports-oriented place. I liked to read, and wanted to act, and didn't try out for volleyball. I was weird. The other girls would dip my hair in ink and stuff.

No matter what we as individual women want, no matter what our goals, we have to support one another.

Give me an 18-hour day on set or in the theater, and I will be the happiest person alive.

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.

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

I did 'Mad Men' and I still have people come up to me like, 'Are you actually a lesbian?' Really? Just because I play one on TV? People will think what they're gonna think.
