Life can be very funny and very tragic. Everyone has stuff that they've been through that makes up whatever fire it is that they have in their gut, but nobody goes around wearing that as their outmost exterior, all the time.
A lot of people would wear anger, depression or aggravation as their first layer, and they don't. They very much understand what's really important in life.
A lot of my hair and makeup, and everything I pull for inspiration, is [drawn] from old photographs.
Being on Twitter, live tweeting some of the episodes, I get direct feedback from people.
When I read the scripts, I'm always so excited to see what's going to happen because it's unpredictable.
I always wanted an older brother. That was my thing. My mom would be like, "What do you want for your birthday?" I'd be like, "I want an older brother."
I think acting is a job where you're always unemployed. You're always looking for the next job, so I assume that it's like other jobs that are with that same kind of setup.
I have a dog as well, and I'm not a vegan or anything. But I needlepoint and I have a cat, so it's not boding well.
Sometimes I vocalize in the car. It's a good way to multitask. Although fellow drivers on the road think I'm craaaazy.
Never get your girlfriend a pet that she didn't know she was getting.
I hate cats. But this cancer cat made me feel bad, so I was like, Okay, I'll take her back to L. A. and give her her last six months of pain-free life.
My favorite episode is where the guy has a relationship with his car. An intimate and sexual and emotional relationship with his car.
All the Hollywood bullshit and accolades and money really doesn't matter. It just gives you a slightly nicer house and slightly nicer food and slightly shinier hair.
I've always loved the fashion of the '30s and everything that came with the Art Deco era - the jewelry and the glamour.
