When I first did theatre, I was always doing comedies; it was always my first love. But it wasn't what I was picked for at first, for films and TV.
My dad is Irish. I spent my childhood going back and forth between Ireland and America.
Many casting directors won't hire aspiring actors because you might be burning some chick's headshot under the table so she doesn't get the part.
In human years I am 29. In actress years I'm the ripe, promising age of 18 to 35. That's how it works here in Hollyweird.
If you fall off a horse, you get back up. I am not a quitter.
I've always been a fan of science fiction. My family, we all used to watch 'Star Trek' together, which is kind of a nerdy family activity.
I'm pretty low-key; you'll often find me in jeans, a T-shirt and sweatshirt.
I was a handful growing up.
I wanted to be on 'Saturday Night Live' since I was ten.
I use the PhotoReady Foundation almost every day, and their lip glosses are fantastic.
I think what ruins relationships and causes most fights is insecurity.
In a relationship I'm a very loving person, emotional and sensitive.
It's so important to have that independence. You know it yourself: Everyone needs evenings of their own.
Weakness is something we don't like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.
