“I love Jon Hamm. I'm so lucky to get to work with him and work so closely with him.”

“I do get scared of the dentist, so a drive-through dentist might make me feel more at home. If I got to stay in my car.”

“I have an enormous family because I'm from Montreal and my family's Catholic, so my dad has eight siblings and they all have kids and we all grew up in the same property on weekends and summers.”

“I didn't want to have braces when I was a kid and I'm pretty sure my dad didn't want to pay for them.”

“I was a drama-class nerd. I did whatever school production we put on.”

“I can cry all day long - that's easy for me.”

“Believe me, when I finish shooting 'Mad Men,' there's a huge chunk of time where I have a really hard time leaving my house without fake lashes on. Which is a complex because I'm not very good at applying fake lashes.”

“'Mad Men' has been my big break. I'm beyond thrilled.”

“My natural gravitation is toward the gray and the black and the white and the burgundy. Sort of muted, cool colors.”

“I'm not a trained dancer - I know, I know, you're shocked, I'm sure.”

“My own beauty routine is influenced pretty heavily from my 'Mad Men' routine. If I'm in the series of work, it's hard to see myself without eyelashes every day.”

“One of my most exciting Saturday nights was just me and a bottle of wine and a crochet book.”

“Acting is what I chose to do. It's what I feel I need to do.”

“I did play Jesus in 'Godspell,' in high school, because I guess I'm a nerd.”

“Working on 'Mad Men,' everything is word for word. And, honestly, I couldn't come up with anything better than that, so it's fine.”

“I drive past the Mad Men billboard every day and I can't believe I'm on that show.”

“I went through a whole phase when I was younger of being obsessed with Tolstoy and Kafka and Camus, all those really, beautiful, dark depressing books.”

“And, of course, all of my friends and family are so excited because they feel like Montreal is being represented on Mad Men.”

“I think I approach my choices much the way I approach the way I consume movies and TV and stuff. I like everything, and sometimes I'll feel like a horror movie, and sometimes I'll just feel like an episode of 'Hoarders.'”

“I would like to explore comedy more. It's not something that I've done a lot of. Obviously, I'm very at home in drama. I like everything.”
