“One of the ways that I think about my being an artist and an actor is... it's an experiment.”
“If you're on a TV show, you never know what's going to happen week to week with your character.”
“I think it's a lot harder to forgive yourself for your own mistakes.”
“When I'm working, it's just about doing the best I can with whatever dialogue is in front of me today. You can't worry about the other thing.”
“Showing women being scientists on television can have a great impact on who actually goes into science as a profession.”
“I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things.”
“I'd love to play St. Joan or Hamlet, and hopefully I will.”
“I'm kind of a Luddite myself. I've got a bunch of typewriters at home. I'm a big fan of old technology.”
“I am sick to my stomach, just, all the time. The tools in my toolbox to address that are choosing jobs where I can be a full, complete person, where I have some agency and autonomy.”
“I'm not interested in political theater.”
“Acting, for me, is not an end in itself. It's more a means to asking the questions I'm obsessed with about life.”
“I'm obviously interested in playing characters who have autonomy, who drive the story.”
“Keeping secrets is hard.”
“I don't wanna be in a show that's salacious just for the sake of getting viewers.”
“I watch a lot of classic movies - my TV guilty pleasures are 'The Wonder Years' or the original 'MASH' show.”
“I did a lot of theater, so especially as an on-camera camera actor, there are so many things that aren't in your toolbox. They're somebody else's job. You think about editors and rhythm. Volume isn't even in your control.”
