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.
bit bored good karate sort weight weights
I get kind of bored on the treadmill, but I do it. And I do a little bit of weight training. I'm really into the BOSU ball. You have to balance on it, and I do weights and squats on it. I'm pretty good at it, I feel sort of like a Karate Kid.
good grown knowing saw wish
My parents didn't exercise, so it was not something I saw was good for you or fun. I wish I had grown up knowing to do that.
needs genre be-good
I'm just looking for material that excites me more than any specific genre. It just needs to be good.
feel-good attention body
In the beginning, it was odd to have so much attention brought to my body type. I thought, 'Uh-oh, brace yourself.' But everyone has been so positive. During the first season, a woman came up to me at dinner and said, 'I just want to thank you u2014 watching you has made me proud of my body.' I thought, What an amazing thing for someone to say! To make anyone feel good about themselves makes me feel good.
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.
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.
creatively lots men season spoiled
We're really spoiled on 'Mad Men.' Lots of television actors use the down season to go out and get creatively fulfilled, but I feel the opposite. Anything else I get to do is just icing.
again amount dress found men money nice sample spending wear wore
I found myself at the beginning of 'Mad Men,' because I wasn't a sample size, spending an exorbitant amount of money on a nice dress that I would never wear again because someone would say - 'Christina Hendricks wore this dress twice.'
