“I'm a country girl; I like country music. That's what my car radio is on.”

“Pilot season tends to be grueling, because you can be thrown all of these auditions at once - last-minute, always - and you're going on three a day, especially back in the day.”

“Steve Zahn and I like to go to dinner, and we love to go to Chef Donald Link's Herb Saint.”

“I like country music. I'm not going to lie. I'm from the South, and I grew up on it. My dad was a country singer-songwriter, so it's in my blood, and I love it.”

“I wish I was more of a song-and-dance girl. I sang in a show once. I wish I could be in 'Hair.'”

“I was a waitress years ago when I was first trying to become an actress, waiting tables in New York City.”

“I have to say, not a day goes by when I don't think fondly about 'Deadwood' and miss things about it.”

“I love football movies.”

“I don't like all of the contemporary country. I like some of it, but I'm mostly into the traditional style.”

“When you're guest-starring on another show, it really requires you to jump through hoops in a way, because you're servicing the stories of the main characters. You have to be able to portray a lot of different elements. You show up and get on board and get on their journey; you have to be flexible as to what they need for the role.”
