Friends are hard to come by in L.A., especially in the entertainment industry. I've known a lot of people who hang out with someone because they're working on a show, and as soon as that show gets canceled, they find someone new.
Twitter is awesome to share news with fans, but I would never choose to only have social media and put everything in my life on display.
I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous.
I never went to college, so I've never actually met a frat guy.
A lot of people don't know I can sing because I don't, like, post it everywhere.
I grew up in the East Village with a lot of old people in my building, and I'm not sure if they lost their sense of smell over the years, but they always seemed to smell like they poured a bottle of perfume on themselves. I never want to become that person.
I always went to school, and when I was working, I had tutoring every day. I still had a childhood.
'Modern Family' has definitely opened up a lot of doors and I will always be grateful.
I have really big alien eyes, so the more mascara the better.
What I decide to wear literally depends on how I'm feeling that day.
I just love the color purple on me, because it goes really well with my eye color.
You're in everyone's homes every week as this character, and they feel like they know you, and then they start to really define you as this character that you portray.
I love living in L.A. It's quieter. It's much more relaxing. I'm living in a house for the first time ever. I have a backyard for the first time ever; a dog for the first time ever. So it's a lot of firsts, and I love it so much. It's just so different. It's a nice change of pace.
I'm very competitive. When I was, like, four, I would see a Shake 'N Bake commercial and see a little girl on that and think, 'I can do that. I might be better.'
