I can't actually think of a job where I was relaxed the whole time. I don't think I would want to do that job. When I break into a cold sweat when I'm reading, I think, 'Oh good. That's what's supposed to be happening.'

As someone who’s been doing a lot of classical theater recently, I loved the idea of getting to run around in Steven Alan, and not be in a corset and a wig, and not have a dialect, and get to be in a 90-minute play with no intermission, and get to do real comedy.

So, for the most part, I really like when I read a scene that scares me and makes me sweat a little bit, thinking about doing it. That’s usually a good sign to me.

Listen, a cable series is a beautiful thing because there’s such amazing writing happening on television, and it’s a schedule that allows you to do a play or two. There’s a reason everybody wants that job!

It’s sort of scary to work with your parents when you’re in the same business. But there was something so very safe about that. Acting with her was just like working with a wonderful actress who just happens to be my best friend and also my mother.

When I was teeny tiny, I definitely had a voice that didn’t quite match the way I looked at five.

Truthfully, I don’t know how those special effects people do it.

For a long time I was cautious of working with my parents because I wanted to feel separate from them in the community. Now there’s no more wasting time.

One of my mother’s friends said to me, ‘Your ex-boyfriends didn’t stand a chance with you and your mother.’ And I think I probably was unfair to them because she was the first person and the last person I called about every single thing. Sorry, ex-boyfriends.

No, I’m not feminist. I’m not, not a feminist.
