I was a hard fit at a young age. I didn't make sense as an ingenue or a leading love-interest lady.
An agent said he didn't know what to do with me, I wouldn't be able to play any parts but lesbians and aliens.
I know there are a lot of tall, beautiful actresses like Uma Thurman and Nicole Kidman who are my height, but they're still half the size of me!
I love the wilder, more outlandish characters that are hard to make believable. Those are the ones I want to play.
The fact that 'Mom' is not joke, joke, joke - and is investing in these characters and their lives, things that really happen to people - I think it's resonating, and that's why people are tuning into it and not just dismissing it as a multi-cam sitcom.
Being a figure skater myself and knowing what it took for my parents to get up at five in the morning to drive me to the rink before school and then drive me to practice after school - it's a huge commitment for any family.
I'm actually a pretty shy person in real life with new people.
Before I even wanted to be an actor, I wanted to be a figure skater.
People are usually so disappointed with book-to-movie translations.
I spent a lot of time in the trenches in New York doing a lot of off-off-off Broadway theater.
If I could stomach the awful part of being a veterinarian, which involves sticking your hand up animals' behinds, I would be a vet.
