I'm choosy to a fault. You want to hold out for a project that means something. You're the one who's there working fifteen hours a day, and if you don't believe in it, it can feel a whole lot longer.
When you get seen in one particular way, it can be paralyzing. You start to believe it's all you can do.
I'm actually really proud of how I believe people perceive me in this industry. I worked really hard to be seen in a certain way. I think I get a lot of respect for what I usually do. I find that comedic world completely fulfilling and wonderful and they're all my best friends.
'Save the Date' feels like a quiet story about two sisters and the men in their lives, kind of reminiscent of the quieter rom-coms of the 1990s; it's very character-driven and not as wedding-focused.
I've loved being the sarcastic chick, but I didn't want to be her forever.
Everyone who made 'Save the Date,' like the writers and the director, they're all happily married and not anti-marriage at all, so that was kind of interesting to me.
On 'Masters of Sex,' especially in the pilot, everybody was showing up word-perfect, and you're expected to show up word-perfect.
When I was younger, I actually wanted to be a CIA agent. Really. I even did the online questionnaire.
It's scary to sign a six-year contract for something that you don't necessarily know about. And yet I did that most every year. I've done a lot of failed pilots.
Whenever you're starting a new show, you have these awkward first lunches and meetings that are sort of mandatory, and everybody shows up, but nobody knows each other.
I have a special ability to spot TV shows that don't go past two seasons; that's my gift.
I have a habit of getting very obsessive about one thing, but it usually lasts no more than three days.
I had to do a lot of dancing in 'Queens of Country.'
I did the whole non-dairy thing for a year.
