Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.

Anyone can smile on their best day. I like to meet a man who can smile on his WORST.

That's the thing that always stuck out to me - the idea that quantity becomes quality. I always took it to mean if you do anything enough, if you keep putting effort in, eventually something will happen, with or without you. You don't have to have faith when you start out, you just have to dedicate yourself to practice as if you have it.

The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.

The best part of getting to do what you like is just doing it. That doesn't have to do with being famous or even successful or even powerful. I see people in life who are just doing a job and seem to be having a good time. And that's the trick.

We're all working hard, but so far away from what we actually want to be doing. We're all peering in at the window of a party we aren't invited to yet, a party we wouldn't know how to dress for, or what kind of conversation to make, even if we came as someone's guest.

As actors we always say that once the person in a scene gets what they want, the scene is over. It's resolved. But life is never resolved - you're always in the process.

I could never have predicted the invention of streaming, the rerelease of the show Gilmore Girls on Netflix, and that people still wanted to hear about it. I do love how we came back to it, but it was never up to me. It won't be up to me this time, either. If it ended there, I would be sad, but I also like what we did.

Today is the day you have to start believing in yourself. No one can do it for you anymore.
Lauren Graham
Image
Be truthful, say what you mean and mean what you say, don't ignore the given circumstances.
Lauren Graham

I'd pay more just to hear proper English and have everyone keep their clothes on

I must work harder to achieve my goal of not seeking approval from those whose approval I'm not even sure is important to me.

The best you can hope for is a great collaborator.
Lauren Graham
Image
I have to introduce the part of me that feels like a winner to the part of me convinced I’m a loser, and see if they can’t agree to exist somewhere closer to the middle.

Like my dad, I have a Christmas party most years. I like to celebrate and see as many people as possible.

Image
Texting is not flirting, if you don't care about me enough to say the words than that's not love, I don't like it!

If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now.

Personally, all I ever want to be wearing are jeans.
