While I love film and want to continue to pursue it 100 percent, my home is TV.
No actor wants to choose - they just want all of the options available to them all the time; we tend to be pretty greedy.
I want there to be tons and tons and tons and tons of movies starring women.
I always want to do something I haven't done before and get to work with other actors, writers, or directors that I want to work with.
I've thought a lot about how if something horrible happened, and if it were like 'The Road' situation, I've decided I don't want to survive past the death of society as we know it.
In Los Angeles, sometimes it's hard to find a magazine stand, let alone one that has the magazine that you want. So I find that the longer I live in L.A., the more digitally I consume.
I've always wanted to work with Elizabeth Banks. She's so talented and funny, and she's become this force of nature - directing, producing. Being around her is kind of inspiring.
You can only do so many serious dramas in a row before you want to break. You want a change.
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.
