I want to do # stage again, because there just aren't words for how great it is. People say that all the time, There's nothing like live theater, blah blah, but it's really true. I see a show and I know how they feel, and it feels great.

I'm a pretty big dork. It's crazy. I'm one of those people who grew up with all kinds of musicals, but I was right at that age where 'Rent' was a big deal for me and for my friends.

If a guy was like, 'Let me serenade you,' and it was bad, and I had to lie about it - can't have it.

Humility was an important part of the way I grew up. And I found that to be less common when I moved to California. That's not to say humble people don't exist there, but ambition seems really important.

I like to think of myself less like 'an adult' and more like a 'former fetus.'

I was at awards shows and felt really lost so it was good to play someone who was really lost.

I'm into 'The Walking Dead,' 'Shaun of the Dead,' obviously, and I've seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on 'Game of Thrones.' Weirdly, it wasn't until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.

I guess as long as people think of me for different ages, I'll trust their opinion. I remember noticing one year that Michelle Monaghan played 34 and 19, so I've kind of clung to that as my justification that I can be Jake Gyllenhaal's wife and a freshman in college in the same year.
