“I'm having a great time. I get to travel and see the world. And yeah, I'll have a family, because I don't want to miss out on that amazing experience, but it's not defining who I am.”

“I love Tina Fey because she acts and she writes and she's hilarious and does a lot of different things.”

“Different is good. Different is great!”

“I was always loud and obnoxious and giggly and funny.”

“My gram taught me to knit when I was little, and then I came across my old knitting tools when I was cleaning out my closets after 'JJ' season one and got right back into it.”

“Yarn, patterns, and needle sizes have come such a long way since your grandmother's afghans. Creatively, there is just so much to get into, so much to play with. It's an amazing way to turn inward and get off your phone.”

“It's exciting to originate Jessica Jones. There's obviously more freedom in that versus playing a well known character.”

“I'm from a small town, a farm, a hundred acres.”

“Every day, you try something new. So I just try to keep myself healthy physically and nutritionally.”

“For solace, I love a book that opens up my perspective.”

“I was totally picked on, but look at me now! I was definitely picked on by boys and girls. I was really lanky and skinny and the boys would say, 'Turn sideways and stick out your tongue, you look like a zipper.'”

“I live in Los Angeles, mostly, and have a lot of girlfriends and a full life out here.”
