Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.

I find the female tragedy of insecurity to be hilarious. We get obsessed over issues like the tiny skin tags on our backs or that we're fat. You read one line in a magazine and it sends you into a tailspin.

A friend of mine told me, you know your obsession with girls who talk like sexy babies? You have to put that into your script.

I love fashion. I always have. When I was a kid, I was in almost full-on costumes when I went to school, and I've retained a bit of that in my adulthood.

I'm a music person. Music is, for me, the best way to cure any sort of anxiety or icky feelings. I think it immediately takes you out of your element and makes some other person do the work for your thoughts.

Part of why I love being an actor is the opportunity to be able to go to distant lands and take on different worlds and concepts and pretend to take on different occupations and statuses.

Without strong financial roots, our generation is in a constant state of redefinition. This forces us to think outside the box when it comes to making a living... which sometimes makes it look like we're a mess, but really we're just creative. And we like weed.

I think of myself as a content creator and hopefully one day a content enabler and supporter of others, so that's what my immediate and hopefully future journey is.

I worked with an amazing dialect coach named Jill McCullough. We did Skype sessions while I was shooting No Escape in Thailand, actually. So three times a week I would have long, two-hour sessions with her just working on the nuance of the accent, which I had had a huge background in because I went to drama school in England for four years.

I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic.

The reason I got into this business was for the privilege to exist in different genres and different worlds and play out different realities.

But I'd say 'How to Make It in America' is the most accurate depiction of the New York hipster community on television for sure.

When I do an accent I commit fully and take it very seriously.

I sort of loved the bustle of a thousand questions. Women are inherently kind of multitaskers.
