I was a Russian dancer in my elementary school production of Fiddler on the Roof when I was in third grade or fourth grade. I was one of the younger kids accepted into the play, and the plays were pretty impressive, let me say.
I think being mean to people in high school is healthy. It's sort of like you're in this situation with all these other kids and sometimes you need to get your aggression out. And if you'd had people be mean to you before, it really does build character.
Don't peak in high school.
When I was younger, I actually wanted to be a CIA agent. Really. I even did the online questionnaire.
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.
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.
Comedy is not something that a person can fake or learn how to do.
As an actress - and as an actor, too, but it's worse for actresses - you constantly get picked apart for how you look.
I find reality television to be so delectable.
