My mom always said fighting with me as a kid was like going to court. I'm trying to realize that being right is not the most important thing.
I think maybe my mom thought that Katharine Hepburn would be a good role model of, like, a strong, smart, independent woman. Maybe she steered me in that direction. You know, because she was really so ahead of her time.
There were definitely bands and musicians I liked that drove my mother insane. I probably liked them all the more for it! Bjork drove my mom nuts. What I listened to was actually pretty mom-friendly for the most part. I wasn't very rebellious.
My mom wouldn't let me buy clothes she didn't like, so I dressed like a middle-aged woman in high school.
When you can impress your mom by saying you've been to someone's concert, you know you're pretty lame.
My mom wouldn't know Tom Cruise if he punched her in the face.
I went to college and got my degree in acting, but because it was all theater, I really consider my first couple years on 'Mad Men' as amazing training for working in television and for acting on-camera.
I'm spending way too much time test running my Vine videos. I'll go into a room and close the door and be in there for an hour workshopping a Vine video that I never even post. So that's probably a huge time suck.
When you're shooting at 9 A.M. at a club, you have to use all of your acting skills.
'Dancing on My Own' is actually a really sad song! It has totally made me cry.
I'm a Bravoholic, and I love 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'
I've had a very positive experience in L.A. in the comedy world and found everyone to be very nice and welcoming. It's been really fun.
I've gotten super into restaurants in L.A., so I try to go to different restaurants all the time... that's a good way to explore L.A.: you can drive to a restaurant and discover a new neighborhood.
'The New Yorker's fiction podcast I like a lot, where they have authors pick short stories by other authors that appeared in 'The New Yorker.'
