I've spent a lot of time wondering, What's going to happen? What's going to happen? I try not to allow myself to do that much anymore. I think ive gotten more comfortable with the unknown.

I am here to tell you there's nothing in people knowing you. There's actually a loss in that! Really, the reward in life is genuinely the day of work you have. It's not the name you're making for yourself or the clicks and likes - it's such an illusion.

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

All TV shows are basically part of the same storyline.

Today is the day you have to start believing in yourself. No one can do it for you anymore.

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

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

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.

It's also show business. It's not show fun friends.

All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100!

Well, it's more of a sane life to be part of an ensemble! I find that the work can be more specific too and I have to really make sure I know where I am in the story because I'm not in every scene.

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.

While I very much wanted to be in a relationship, I didn't want to be in the wrong one.

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

I think there's more pressure to stand out in a way that is measurable externally. The fame culture is definitely way worse and weirder than it was when we were in high school.

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!
Lauren Graham

I personally was driven to be an actor for the love of telling a story. It was very closely linked to being a reader as a kid and being transported by literature and art. It had nothing - zero - to do with anything resembling fame.

I've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life.

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.
