I was a kindergarten dropout.

'Mad Men' introduced me to the power of fashion.

Occasionally, as an actor, you're not... Sometimes, at least for me, I'm not fully in the groove until the second or third take, in which I would not want to just stop. If it's a scene that takes a lot of work and time, sometimes the scene gets better with time, and sometimes it gets exhausted. I think it just depends on the scene.

To a certain extent, I think I've tried to train myself to not dive too deep into things or get my hopes too way up, because the fear of disappointment and whatnot is only natural.

That's a big thing in my life: going with your gut. If something isn't lighting the fire and making you excited, or if something feels wrong or doesn't agree with you, it should be questioned. It should be talked about.

I really love playing a character that's a little younger than me, to be honest. Because even if it's just three years, I can bring perspective into it.

This is one of those industries where you never have full control of your hair.

I'm such a firm believer that everyone should see themselves in a character, and everyone should feel represented.

To be quite honest, my fans growing up were my friends' parents. Like, 30-plus was, like, 'Mad Men' age group.

Teens are being portrayed with depth because they are multidimensional, and they deserve to be portrayed as such.
