Cats Appear To Have A Wonderful Ability To Weed Out Everything They Don't Need To Know, While Honing In On What Is Important To Them.

I Dyed My Hair About 42 Different Colours, And Kids Can Be Pretty Judgmental About People Who Are Different. But Instead Of Breaking Down And Conforming, I Stood Firm. That Is Also Probably Why I Was Unhappy.

I'll Always Miss Mad Men, Of Course, But It Is Interesting To Finally Answer Different Questions After Nine Years. Not That That's A Criticism To Anyone, But Just Simply As A Character For Nine Years, You're Going To Get A Lot Of The Same Questions For Many, Many, Many Years. This Is Sort Of Refreshing.

A Woman Is Beautiful When She Stands Out As An Individual—it's A Woman Who Has Her Own Style And The Confidence To Pull It Off. Half The Women On The Streets In New York City Achieve This. I Get So Inspired Every Time I'm There.

One Of My Favourite Messages About The Pirate Fairy Is That The Story Is About Appreciating Your Own Talents.

Trust Me When You Read The Script For Bad Santa 2 I Knew Exactly What I Was Getting Myself Into. I Read The Script First, And I Was Laughing Out Loud And Blushing And Couldn't Believe What I Was Reading.

If My Legs Are Showing, The Makeup Artist Adds A Tiny Amount Of Foundation To Body Lotion And Rubs It In.

Yeah When You're In The Middle Of Filming This Movie [bad Santa 2] It Doesn't Matter What You Say You Can Think Of Some Sort Of Way To Twist It Into Something Dirty So We Were Laughing A Lot.

Oftentimes When I Do A Project I Do Get Influenced By The Wardrobe. I Certainly Learned A Lot From 'mad Men' And From Janie (bryant) In Particular. She's Just So Fabulous.

I Was The Nerdy One. I Always Played Those Kind Of Characters Until Mad Men.

I Often Played The Nerdy Friend Or The Goofy Sidekick Or The Sort Of Naïve Movie Character In Some Ways.

Some Of The Things People Have Said About Me, Well, They're Unbelievable

I Definitely Am Drawn To Deeper Reds And Wine Colors For Lips And Even Cheeks During The Holiday.

We Were Probably The Last People In The Country To Get A Vcr And We Didn't Have Cable. There Wasn't Any Admiration Of Glamour, No, 'i Want To Look Like Them Or Have That Lifestyle', Because Everyone In My Town Had The Same Lifestyle. So I Didn't Think, 'ooh, A Movie Star's Birthday!' I Just Thought, 'what?'

I Was A Goth Girl In High School. Perhaps The Powdered White Face And The Black Lipstick Were Not The Most Attractive. I Felt Fabulous At The Time But Looking Back, Uh, Probably Not The Best Idea.

It's Hard To Top What You See In The Film, They Were Just Such A Great Group Of People To Work With And We All Hung Out In Between Scenes And I Got To Know Everybody A Little Bit.

As For The Herbal Cigarettes, For The Most Part I Don't Smoke As Much As The Guys Do. I'm Usually Just Strutting Around A Bit More So I Don't Actually Have To Be Inhaling It. I'm Lucky Because I Do Have Scenes Where The Cigarettes Work Beautifully To Punctuate Certain Things I'm Saying.

I Love My Body As It Is. People In The Industry Have Been Telling Me To Lose Weight For Years But I Like The Way I Look. I Give Credit To My Mom For Helping Me Feel Good About My Appearance - For Making Sure I Never Felt Embarrassed About My Body, Because She Was Never Worried About Looking Too Big.

I'm Just Looking For Material That Excites Me More Than Any Specific Genre. It Just Needs To Be Good.

I Have To Admit, I Do Loooove Eggnog.

I Have A Problem Keeping My Mouth Shut. I Usually Speak My Mind. I'm Trying To Learn My Lesson.

I Admire So Many Women, It's Hard To Choose, But I've Always Loved Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, And Mia Farrow.

I'm An Ambassador For The Make-a-wish Foundation, And One Of The Children, His Wish Was To Go To The Emmys, So He's Going To Be My Date, Along With My Husband, And My Dad And His Girlfriend. So We're Going To Have A Really Fun Night And It's Going To Be Really Exciting. I'm Really Excited For Him To Experience That.

If Mad Men Had Taken Place In The '90s It Would Have Been Just As Believable. But The Fact Is That Was The Perfect Storm And With The Fashion And The Sets And The Writing And The Actors It Just All Made Sense And It Just Was One Of Those Things That You Can't Explain.

I've Been Telling Everyone For Weeks Now About How I Get To Play Lois Lane. It's A Big Deal. There Are A Few Characters Throughout Your Life Which Everyone Knows And This Is One Of Them. I Can't Wait.

I Thought, Well, You Might See Curves There, But That's Just A Bone - So Even If I Lose Weight That's Not Going To Change Anything. That's How I Look. That's My Shape. Do The Math.

It Just Seemed So Odd As People Had Never Commented On My Body Before. Every Woman Obsesses Over Her Figure, But I Was Happy, I Felt Sexy, I Never Thought About It. I Know This Sounds Naive, But I Honestly Never Expected This Kind Of Attention.

Even When I Did Ryan Gosling's Movie (lost River), We Had A Very '80s Kind Of Vibe And I Would Say For Two Or Three Months After That, I Was Dressing In A Very Sort Of '80s Way.

In The Beginning, It Was Odd To Have So Much Attention Brought To My Body Type. I Thought, "uh-oh, Brace Yourself." But Everyone Has Been So Positive. During The First Season, A Woman Came Up To Me At Dinner And Said, "i Just Want To Thank You - Watching You Has Made Me Proud Of My Body." I Thought, What An Amazing Thing For Someone To Say! To Make Anyone Feel Good About Themselves Makes Me Feel Good.

I Like To Look For Gifts Throughout The Year. If I Find The Perfect Item For Someone, I Put It In My "gift Closet" And Keep It For The Next Holiday. But I Often Get Too Excited And Just Give It To Them Before!

Any Woman Who Is Currently With A Man Is With Him Partly Because She Loves The Way He Smells. And If We Haven't Smelled You For A Day Or Two And Then We Suddenly Are Within Inches Of You, We Swoon. We Get Light-headed. It's Intoxicating. It's Heady.

I've Always Been Someone Who Really Watches Other People, Human Behavior. To Watch It And Be Able To Express It Through Your Version Has Always Been Really Exciting To Me

I'm Open To Trying New Things. That's Why I Think Birchbox Is So Awesome! It's Something To Look Forward To And Introduces Me To Something Maybe I Wouldn't Have Picked Out, But Fall In Love With.

Falling In Love

I'm Not Quite At The Point Where I Feel The Need To Wear Disguises In Public.

I Adore The Incredibly Tight Clothing! My Own Wardobe's Changed - I've Streamlined A Little Bit And Definitely Learnt From Joan's Sleekiness And Tailoring.

I Had Always Heard Of Bad Santa One But I Hadn't Seen It, But It Was Sort Of Legendary.

I Think Joan's Advice Would Be: Always Know More Than Anyone Else, Always Be Discreet As Possible. And Never Cry At Work.

I Guess My Mom Raised Me Right. She Was Very Celebratory Of Her Body. I Never Heard Her Once Say, "i Feel Fat." Back When I Was Modeling, The First Time I Went To Italy I Was Having Cappuccinos Every Day, And I Gained 15 Pounds. And I Felt Gorgeous! I Would Take My Clothes Off In Front Of The Mirror And Be Like, "oh, I Look Like A Woman." And I Felt Beautiful, And I Never Tried To Lose It, 'cause I Loved It.

I Auditioned For So Many Things - Cops, Lawyers, Doctors And Things But They Were Like, "she Just Seems Too Sweet. I Don't See That Hard Side Of Her."

All Of A Sudden I Was Joan [mad Man] And They're Going, "oh, So She Plays A Badass In This." And I'm Like, "oh My God, I Get To Play Badasses." Firefly Was A Little Bit Of That, But She Started Out As A Mouse And Then She Turned Into A Dragon. But I Never Really Had That Opportunity. So All Of A Sudden People Were Like, "oh, Do You Feel Like You're Being Typecast?" I Would Say, "no, This Is Just Opening The Doors." No One Thought I Could Do It And Someone Finally Trusted Me To Do It.

Sexiness Is About Being An Individual And Having Conviction About What That Is.

I Met A Lot Of Young Girls Modelling And They Were Like, 'oh, I'm Running Around Town And People Are Taking My Picture', While I Was Saving Receipts And Learning How To Be Self-employed.

I'm Not Looking For A Series. I Love Tv. I Love Developing Characters Over A Long Amount Of Time. I Think For An Actor It Gives You So Much Material And Every Season It Gives More Background And Interest And Richness. So I Would Definitely Do Another Series. I'm Just Waiting For The Right Thing To Come Along.
