I didn't know that the show would be received the way that it has been, ... I couldn't be more thrilled about it. But it's been a surprise.

One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.

In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.

The common misconception is that as an actress you have to learn what you're doing. No, you just have to make the audience think you've learned it.

I don't have examples in my life of people who are all good or bad; I have deeply loved many people who are both, and I relate to those kinds of people on a far greater level.

Throughout my career I've played a lot of parts that might've been played by a man. They're human roles rather than specifically men or women. I've never been as hooked into that as a lot of women are, you know, like, 'There aren't enough roles for women.' There aren't necessarily a lot of good roles for anybody.
