So I was determined to use my last two years in college doing something I thought I would enjoy, which was acting. And it was probably because there was girls over in the drama school too, you know?

I was brought up in a house full of women; the first time I realised no one was interrupting me was when I was on stage - that's probably the subconscious reason I became an actor.

'Girl, Interrupted' is one of my favorite movies.

I am only an actress when they say, 'action' and I stop being an actress when they say, 'cut'. I am a normal person outside of acting.

I'm the character actor in Hollywood movies, the girl who has to be annoying so the guy can go to the other girl.

A lot of girls ask for advice on how to get into acting, and I'm kind of the worst person to ask, because it just kind of fell in my lap... I was just in the right place at the right time.

'Girls' feels very active and stirring a conversation and controversial, and you can't really ask for more as an actor.

With 'Girls,' it doesn't really feel like I'm doing TV specifically. It just feels like we're making a really long film.

I think all girls secretly want to be actresses because acting seems so glamorous. But as a child, I was always the villager who had one line in the school play. I was shy and I had a bit of a lisp.

I've never gotten to do romantic comedy like most of the girls. Maybe because I'm fit, people assume that I'm not funny?
