bad car constantly days head lucky saying stay straight
I'm constantly saying that I have bad hair days when I'm in New York. It's so hard. I've been lucky enough to jump immediately into a car, head straight to the location, and stay in the air-conditioning.
people wear younger
In person, I wear jeans and flip-flops, and people are so shocked. They tell me I look so much younger than they expected.
man
I like a man with a nice, self-deprecating sense of humour.
character thinking giving
I'm not looking for a series. I love TV. I love developing characters over a long amount of time. I think for an actor it gives you so much material and every season it gives more background and interest and richness. So I would definitely do another series. I'm just waiting for the right thing to come along.
badass firefly opportunity
All of a sudden I was Joan [Mad Man] and they're going, "Oh, so she plays a badass in this." And I'm like, "Oh my god, I get to play badasses." Firefly was a little bit of that, but she started out as a mouse and then she turned into a dragon. But I never really had that opportunity. So all of a sudden people were like, "Oh, do you feel like you're being typecast?" I would say, "No, this is just opening the doors." No one thought I could do it and someone finally trusted me to do it.
sweet doctors sides
I auditioned for so many things - cops, lawyers, doctors and things but they were like, "She just seems too sweet. I don't see that hard side of her."
character way sidekicks
I often played the nerdy friend or the goofy sidekick or the sort of naïve movie character in some ways.
character men mad
I was the nerdy one. I always played those kind of characters until Mad Men.
two rivers three
Even when I did Ryan Gosling's movie (Lost River), we had a very '80s kind of vibe and I would say for two or three months after that, I was dressing in a very sort of '80s way.
men mad fabulous
Oftentimes when I do a project I do get influenced by the wardrobe. I certainly learned a lot from Mad Men and from Janie (Bryant) in particular. She's just so fabulous.
needs genre be-good
I'm just looking for material that excites me more than any specific genre. It just needs to be good.
needs disguise feels
I'm not quite at the point where I feel the need to wear disguises in public.
fashion taken writing
If Mad Men had taken place in the '90s it would have been just as believable. But the fact is that was the perfect storm and with the fashion and the sets and the writing and the actors it just all made sense and it just was one of those things that you can't explain.
falling-in-love thinking trying
I'm open to trying new things. That's why I think Birchbox is so awesome! It's something to look forward to and introduces me to something maybe I wouldn't have picked out, but fall in love with.
