I'm afraid of flying.

I love arts and crafts.

I hate auditioning so much.

I can access emotions very easily.

The only guilty pleasure I have is pasta.

Birthdays are getting harder as I get older.

I like people trying to do two things at once.

I'd love to do a James Bond-y kind of villain!

I was a late bloomer in a lot of areas in life.

Most Republicans call the show 'The Left Wing.'

Everyone couldn't be happier and more terrified.

I can tell when men are threatened by my height.

I want to feel sexy and pretty and young as long as I can.

I'm so hard on myself and a really harsh critic of my work.

It is a very difficult job, being the servant of two masters.

I'm actually a pretty shy person in real life with new people.

I am lucky enough to have Aaron Sorkin write what I have to say.

The loss of my brother was a huge moment, a life-changer for me.

People are usually so disappointed with book-to-movie translations.

Before I even wanted to be an actor, I wanted to be a figure skater.

My height does help me. I can hide a multitude of sins in my height.

I'm the worst speller on the planet. I'm so glad for spellcheck on my phone.

The live aspect is so thrilling, I get nervous again. It's like going on stage.

I love wasting time and learning to lip-sync to songs; it's a silly hobby of mine.

I definitely paid my dues, and I'm grateful for everything and for my good friends.

I say I'm 5 feet 12 inches. I'm definitely 6 feet. In my heels, I'm 6 feet 3 inches.

Every character I do has a bit of my mum in her. She's like the doyenne of Dayton, Ohio.

I grew up with brothers. I love men. Of course it's hard to be a woman in a man's world.

Great drama is all about conflict, and what's a better conflict than Republican-Democrat?

I was playing 40-year-old women when I was 20. I didn't get considered for ingenue roles.

I go on a hunt for things that make sense to me and that I can actively play as an actress.

I never stop. I don't want to stop acting because I'm afraid it'll all end, so I never say no.

I spent a lot of time in the trenches in New York doing a lot of off-off-off Broadway theater.

It's a great way to start the day, hearing you've been nominated for an Emmy. It's just thrilling.

I was a hard fit at a young age. I didn't make sense as an ingenue or a leading love-interest lady.

The pre-shoot days are so relaxed and fun and the writers are laughing. I love the rehearsal process.

I know what it feels like to love and care about things, but I've never had that instinct to have kids.

I have the power of my height. Growing up, it was a total drawback. There was nothing good about it at all.

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'd like to make really important movies, like American Beauty. I was really proud to be a part of that movie.

I think it was a subject matter that The Social Network didn't involve a lot of women. That's all I think it is.

I'm a sponge. I sometimes don't want to go out of my house because it's like, 'Who's going to make me cry today?'

I love the wilder, more outlandish characters that are hard to make believable. Those are the ones I want to play.

I love working on the fly when the writers come up with new jokes on show nights. It's exciting. I love it so much.

I felt like my career started late, and I think it was because of my height - and maybe some of my confidence issues.

It's hard to describe to people how terrible it was when you could only watch cartoons at a certain time in your life.

I can sit down at the piano and make you think I know how to play the piano because I know, like, the beginnings of four songs.

The real trick to auditioning is just letting go of trying to please them. Make it your own. That took me a long time to learn.

I've always been a figure skater and ballet dancer. I love physical comedy, and any chance that I get to do that... that is so me.

It's a beautiful feeling to be out on the ice, breathing in the cold air and hearing the blades hit the ice. It's kind of romantic.
