“I met a lot of young girls modelling and they were like, 'Oh, I'm running around town and people are taking my picture', while I was saving receipts and learning how to be self-employed.”

“The way we dress on 'Mad Men' is so associated with old photographs, with people's parents and grandparents.”

“When you're doing voice work, you're in a bubble where you just think about the story and the words. They record you on video while you're doing the voice work, so they capture how your face is moving and the gestures you make.”

“I started doing community theatre as a way to make friends, and that was when I caught the acting bug.”

“Over the years, it seems 'Firefly' has only gained momentum rather than lost it. I still get letters from people who watched the show - I get more 'Firefly' than 'Mad Men' letters.”

“I have faced rejection in this business because of my appearance, but that has only made me stronger and more determined.”

“I like salty, creamy foods. I could sit down with a bag of chips and French onion dip and go to town! That would be on my last-supper list.”

“Any woman who is currently with a man is with him partly because she loves the way he smells.”

“Some of the things people have said about me, well, they're unbelievable.”

“I had been on several shows that were meant to be the big ones, that would go on forever, and they didn't.”

“I use Redken color on my hair and use mild shampoos that don't strip your hair of color. If I need to, I'll use a good colored mousse in between.”

“I'm an ambassador for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and one of the children, his wish was to go to the Emmys, so he's going to be my date, along with my husband, and my dad and his girlfriend. So we're going to have a really fun night and it's going to be really exciting. I'm really excited for him to experience that.”

“I get kind of bored on the treadmill, but I do it. And I do a little bit of weight training. I'm really into the BOSU ball. You have to balance on it, and I do weights and squats on it. I'm pretty good at it, I feel sort of like a Karate Kid.”

“I like the old-fashioned, vintage-inspired swimsuits with halters and maybe a little ruching, and the longer cut that's almost short-shorts, like Ava Gardner used to wear a lot, right?”

“I love anything that's sort of surreal and with fantasy.”

“I thought, well, you might see curves there, but that's just a bone - so even if I lose weight that's not going to change anything. That's how I look. That's my shape. Do the math.”

“I guess my mom raised me right. She was very celebratory of her body. I never heard her once say, 'I feel fat.'”

“I'm either in heels or barefoot.”

“I just thought I would work in a hair salon and do community theater.”

“Caftans are just the perfect solution to what to wear at home. I love Camilla Franks', but I also get great vintage ones on eBay.”
