I get pigeonholed into type-A personality characters, but I'm really not type A. I'm kind of a spaz.
Twitter is the first information that I ingest in the morning. When there are important things happening, friends of mine who follow news feeds will report on it, so I find out about most major news on Twitter.
You wanna do a lot of backstory for your character - as an actor, you wanna research that. But on the show, it's fun to remain in that naive place as you go along, and be able to continue to discover things about your character as the writers come up with them.
Your opinion is not influenced by anyone when you're alone at a matinee. It's just you and the movie.
I think Twitter is such a cool thing because it really is a direct line to the fans and for fans back to you, and it's such a new thing. I think in the past there's been usually fan mail and that's really good, but Twitter, it gets an immediate response.
I love Jason Bateman. He's so funny.
I try to be very much in control when it comes to work. I have a strong work ethic.
I'm a generally optimistic person.
I've always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things.
In my personal life, I'm hilarious! I was always a bit of a jokester.
Money means better meals at better places.
My parents are definitely reformed hippies.
I think it's never too late to learn - or it's a lesson that's good to continue learning - that you need to treat everyone on a set with respect.
Stay at home mom is still a job.
