bit cringe cruel deliver hard hope joan lines people says sort time
I would hope that people didn't think I was anything like Joan! It's very hard for me because Joan says such cruel things all the time.

We have defined these characters - people always expect to see me in a pencil skirt. When they see me out of one - much like when they see Jon Hamm's hair when it isn't slick - they say, 'Wait a minute, you're all 2010!'

I was obsessed with the Canadian novel 'Anne of Green Gables'. I decided I was Anne of Green Gables. There was something that spoke to me about her, and I wanted to have her beautiful red hair.

I have faced rejection in this business because of my appearance, but that has only made me stronger and more determined.
certain presenting tool
I don't think it's not feminist to use every tool you have to succeed, and part of that is being a woman - presenting yourself in a certain way.

I like salty, creamy foods. I could sit down with a bag of chips and French onion dip and go to town! That would be on my last-supper list.
