characters defined expect jon people slick
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!'
character thinking giving
I'm not looking for a series. I love TV. I love developing characters over a long amount of time. I think for an actor it gives you so much material and every season it gives more background and interest and richness. So I would definitely do another series. I'm just waiting for the right thing to come along.
character way sidekicks
I often played the nerdy friend or the goofy sidekick or the sort of naïve movie character in some ways.
character men mad
I was the nerdy one. I always played those kind of characters until Mad Men.
character men years
I'll always miss Mad Men, of course, but it is interesting to finally answer different questions after nine years. Not that that's a criticism to anyone, but just simply as a character for nine years, you're going to get a lot of the same questions for many, many, many years. This is sort of refreshing.
character play waiting
I've been telling everyone for weeks now about how I get to play Lois Lane. It's a big deal. There are a few characters throughout your life which everyone knows and this is one of them. I can't wait.
caught
I started doing community theatre as a way to make friends, and that was when I caught the acting bug.
excited fans men sort
I sort of feel like 'Mad Men' fans are like sci-fi fans because they are very, very devoted, and they're very loyal and very excited about it.
colored good mild strip
I use Redken color on my hair and use mild shampoos that don't strip your hair of color. If I need to, I'll use a good colored mousse in between.
To be honest, the real reason I did 'Drive' was because of Nicolas Winding Refn, the director.
bubble capture face gestures record video voice work
When you're doing voice work, you're in a bubble where you just think about the story and the words. They record you on video while you're doing the voice work, so they capture how your face is moving and the gestures you make.
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. It sort of makes me cringe every time I read them because I think, 'Who could be so horrible?' To be able to deliver those lines and do them with a coolness, yet still make her likable, is a bit of a challenge.
When the attention started to be about my figure, I was surprised, because it wasn't something I was focused on.
jump strong survival tend
I tend to take things personally. But I can only take so much, and then I jump back. I have strong survival skills.
