I did play Jesus in 'Godspell,' in high school, because I guess I'm a nerd.
Jessica Pare -
I used to listen to the soundtrack for the movie 'Tank Girl' all the time. It was really good.

I would like to explore comedy more. It's not something that I've done a lot of. Obviously, I'm very at home in drama. I like everything.
Jessica Pare -
I don't know if you know this - I don't drive a stick. I mean, I barely drive my automatic. I get to work and everything, but I'm not any kind of driving prodigy.
Jessica Pare -
I love Jon Hamm. I'm so lucky to get to work with him and work so closely with him.
Jessica Pare -
Believe me, when I finish shooting 'Mad Men,' there's a huge chunk of time where I have a really hard time leaving my house without fake lashes on. Which is a complex because I'm not very good at applying fake lashes.
Jessica Pare -
I think I've always been ambitious. It just looks different on me. You know, I have friends who are actresses who go to every party they possibly can to be photographed and really try to make every connection they can, and I admire that and sometimes I wish I had a little bit more of that. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough ambition.
Jessica Pare -
An actor will use every piece of information at their disposal, or a good actor will.

I have an enormous family because I'm from Montreal and my family's Catholic, so my dad has eight siblings and they all have kids and we all grew up in the same property on weekends and summers.
Jessica Pare -
I'm not a trained dancer - I know, I know, you're shocked, I'm sure.
Jessica Pare -
I'm not an '80s fan. I'm more '70s New York pre-punk kind of thing, and I guess I grew up with '90s grunge, post-punk pop music.
Jessica Pare -
At the time I just was like, I can't believe I am on the show, and the first thing I have to do is an entire song and dance routine for the whole cast of 'Mad Men.'
Jessica Pare -
One of my most exciting Saturday nights was just me and a bottle of wine and a crochet book.
Jessica Pare -
In the work that I normally do, you have a whole script, a whole arc, that you play. And I do believe a good actor will play every bit of information they're given.
Jessica Pare
-
I was a drama-class nerd. I did whatever school production we put on.
Jessica Pare -
I do get scared of the dentist, so a drive-through dentist might make me feel more at home. If I got to stay in my car.
Jessica Pare -
I can cry all day long - that's easy for me.
Jessica Pare -
Acting is what I chose to do. It's what I feel I need to do.
Jessica Pare -
I know that I'm a decent actor, but it's another thing to be in a scene with Jon Hamm and hold your own.
Jessica Pare -
My parents made me finish high school before I started acting, and I did, like, two weeks of fine arts college before I was like, 'This sucks. I'm going!' I got a few small jobs, and then I booked a big-for-Canada feature.
Jessica Pare
-
I think I approach my choices much the way I approach the way I consume movies and TV and stuff. I like everything, and sometimes I'll feel like a horror movie, and sometimes I'll just feel like an episode of 'Hoarders.'
Jessica Pare -
I drive past the Mad Men billboard every day and I can't believe I'm on that show.
Jessica Pare -
I played a bass player and a singer in a movie once, but I totally lip-synced to everything.
Jessica Pare -
I didn't want to have braces when I was a kid and I'm pretty sure my dad didn't want to pay for them.
