“I always have looked for the best challenge, I guess, that I could take on. I haven't been producing my own work or anything like that, so I've taken the jobs that look most interesting that come my way.”
“I think that's what makes life interesting - the evolution of getting older, and it's kinda fascinating to me, the whole process.”
“I write a lot too, so I would like to write or direct in the future if I can.”
“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.”
“Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.”
“More than anything, I just think about what roles I take on and make sure that it's really something that I feel passionate about if I'm going to leave home and go work.”
“I figured out that I was interested in acting while at NYU.”
“Nearly a decade of time is enough for everybody to change, quite a bit.”
“Luckily, I have the kind of personality where I am extremely private. I don't really like to tell everyone my business. I'd much rather people wonder or not know.”
“I was a film major.”
“Ofglen is a little different than the other Handmaids because she has a really rebellious spirit and she has the hope that she could escape.”
“I tend to renovate properties when I'm not working.”
“There are a lot of challenges Ofglen faces as a Handmaid. She has to live her life for the Commander of her home, Glen, and it is really a bleak life. She has no rights, and her main job is to keep him and the rest of the people in his house happy.”
“I've been trying to find out what my wheelhouse is as an actor. 'Gilmore' was my first job, so only from there did I have a chance to really experiment and see how far I could stretch; I went maybe a little too far in certain directions.”
“'The Handmaid's Tale' takes place in the near future, a dystopian future, and is based on the book by Margaret Atwood. It takes place in what was formerly part of the United States at a period of time when society has been taken over by a totalitarian theocracy. It's about the women who live in subjugation.”
“When we first filmed 'Gilmore Girls,' I didn't know it would build such a cult following.”
“My perspective is that, when you're a kid, if your audience is a group of children or teenagers, you do have some level of social responsibility. I feel that.”
“I'm the kind of person who, if I like one song, will listen to all of the band's work before moving on to another group.”
“I'm not a fan of watching myself on TV - it's just not relaxing. It's like if you hear your voice on a recording: it doesn't sound the same as when it comes out of your mouth.”
“For some unknown reason, bad-boys draw you in despite the fact that they are jerks.”
