“I don't know if you know this - I don't drive a stick. I mean, I barely drive my automatic. I get to work and everything, but I'm not any kind of driving prodigy.”

“I used to listen to the soundtrack for the movie 'Tank Girl' all the time. It was really good.”

“I'm thinking of putting together an all-star band. I definitely have a bit of a rock fantasy.”

“I like to sing around the bonfire, in my car and in the shower.”

“I think I've always been ambitious. It just looks different on me. You know, I have friends who are actresses who go to every party they possibly can to be photographed and really try to make every connection they can, and I admire that and sometimes I wish I had a little bit more of that. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough ambition.”

“An actor will use every piece of information at their disposal, or a good actor will.”

“In the work that I normally do, you have a whole script, a whole arc, that you play. And I do believe a good actor will play every bit of information they're given.”

“I'm not an '80s fan. I'm more '70s New York pre-punk kind of thing, and I guess I grew up with '90s grunge, post-punk pop music.”

“I'm a huge Marlene Dietrich fan. She's got this raunchy kind of strength. It would be hard to find a man who could come up with something hard for her to handle. She's seen it all and done it all.”

“My parents made me finish high school before I started acting, and I did, like, two weeks of fine arts college before I was like, 'This sucks. I'm going!' I got a few small jobs, and then I booked a big-for-Canada feature.”

“I do feel like the end of 'Mad Men' is a sort of a coming of age.”

“I played a bass player and a singer in a movie once, but I totally lip-synced to everything.”

“At the time I just was like, I can't believe I am on the show, and the first thing I have to do is an entire song and dance routine for the whole cast of 'Mad Men.'”

“I know that I'm a decent actor, but it's another thing to be in a scene with Jon Hamm and hold your own.”

“Honey is hydrating and antiseptic. It really clears your skin, and it's moisturizing. You can use it every day if you want. It's so gentle.”
