The parts for women, you're either like the quietly suffering wife or the wild girl.
-
There's nothing more important than a good story.
-
Nobody ever seems to want my advice about serious stuff. People will be like: 'Who made that sweater?' Or 'How did you get your hair so straight?' They don't to come to me for the relationship advice or deep stuff. In fact, my little sister actually hides from me.
-
I've spent a lot of time wondering, What's going to happen? What's going to happen? I try not to allow myself to do that much anymore. I think ive gotten more comfortable with the unknown.
-
I could never have predicted the invention of streaming, the rerelease of the show Gilmore Girls on Netflix, and that people still wanted to hear about it. I do love how we came back to it, but it was never up to me. It won't be up to me this time, either. If it ended there, I would be sad, but I also like what we did.
-
Over and over in the play my character says, "I'm thirty-two years old," as if that should explain everything that's wrong in her life. I don't know what it's like to be thirty-two, but I can imagine. I imagine she means she's stuck in an in-between time, she's at an age that isn't a milestone but more of a no-man's-land, an age where she's feeling like her hopes are fading.

While I very much wanted to be in a relationship, I didn't want to be in the wrong one.
-
I've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life.
-
Personally, all I ever want to be wearing are jeans.
-
I think there's more pressure to stand out in a way that is measurable externally. The fame culture is definitely way worse and weirder than it was when we were in high school.
-
I'd pay more just to hear proper English and have everyone keep their clothes on.
-
Be truthful, say what you mean and mean what you say, don't ignore the given circumstances.
-
I think it's really a good thing.... It's the best thing for the show, and I feel really good about it.
-
If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now.
-
Writing a memoir isn't particularly interesting to me. I'm not like Ellen [DeGeneres], where I can write, 'Water bottles--they're crazy!' and it's funny.
-
I didn't grow up identifying with beauty. I grew up thinking I could be smart and funny - those are the things I got feedback on.
-
I think what my hope is is that the only downside of having a steady job on television is, I think for all actors, there's a piece, there's some adrenaline, and part of the love of the job is not knowing what's coming next, and the variety.
-
You want the story to end when it's supposed to and not be squeezed for somebody's financial gain.
-
I felt all kinds of pressure on myself...I didn't want to disappoint anybody. But that is nothing that compares to someone dealing with a health issue, so my shit is no big deal.
-
Like my dad, I have a Christmas party most years. I like to celebrate and see as many people as possible.
-
Once again, I've been thwarted by the massive difference between my vision of the successful me and the me I'm currently stuck with.
-
My mother had lived in London since I was little, so she never got to see my school plays and stuff.
-
The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.
-
I would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.
