When you're an actress - or just a woman - a lot of the exercise classes that are offered are so sort of male gaze-skewed. It's all working out for the beach and not for function at all.

My mom used to play a lot of super character-y parts... so I was sort of raised to be a clown.

I think that it's our job to sort of band together and say, 'OK, what are the ways the male gaze has seeped into your brain and is affecting the way you treat yourself? Let's work together to eliminate that.'

I often feel like a character actress trapped inside the mean, aging Barbie's body.

I won't name names, but sometimes a TV set can be a shame-and-fear obstacle course for an actress.

When we did 'Endgame,' we were all hunched over and making the craziest sounds. Then I graduated and went right into auditioning for 'Gossip Girl' and things like that, where, as an actress, you're required to act from the neck up and, from the neck down. It's a presentation of your birthday-suit self.
