add drink egg gets love specialty white
I love cocktails. My specialty drink is a gimlet with a little egg white in it so it gets frothy. I really like rose water - sometimes I'll add it to champagne.
ask deserve goes list recently research whereas women
As women, we feel we can't ask for things. There's been a lot of research done recently and, more often than not, if a woman goes in to ask for a raise, she'll get it. But she's thinking, 'Do I deserve it? I've got to give a list of why I deserve it.' Whereas a man will just go in and ask for a raise. It's so scary.
business huge living loved second shows success tough
It's a tough business. To my parents or to their friends, I was not a success, but to me I was a huge success. I was having a blast. I was working on shows I loved, I was working with actors I loved, and I was making a living as an actor. And I loved every second of it.
bit mix modern scorsese sure tricky vintage wear
It is tricky because I do wear a lot of vintage on the red carpet, and usually when I'm getting ready, I'll say, 'We need to make sure that I don't look like I'm in a Scorsese film today.' Sometimes I do something a little bit more modern with my hair. You have to mix it up.

allow coming gets love respect says side takes women
I have women coming up to me and saying: 'I love your character! She's so empowered. She takes control; she gets what she wants.' That's another side of her. And I respect that in Joan. She says and does things that I would never allow myself to do.

Caftans are just the perfect solution to what to wear at home. I love Camilla Franks', but I also get great vintage ones on eBay.

In person, I wear jeans and flip-flops, and people are so shocked. They tell me I look so much younger than they expected.

I'm constantly saying that I have bad hair days when I'm in New York. It's so hard. I've been lucky enough to jump immediately into a car, head straight to the location, and stay in the air-conditioning.
fight joan power praying problems resolve rise
I just keep praying for Joan to get her power back. To resolve her problems and rise to the top. To fight back!
shows
I had been on several shows that were meant to be the big ones, that would go on forever, and they didn't.

Getting to wear beautiful fashion is the most fun part of the job that has nothing to do with the job.

If I get any private time in my trailer, all of a sudden I'm doing sit-ups and push-ups.
