Quotes- Her Gilmore Girls audition: "It was very unexpected. I was nervous and didn't know what I was doing. It just happened to work out."
- On getting recognized by fans: "It always happens in places where you'd rather not be recognized. Like one time, I was just getting ready to go to bed, but I had this craving for a glass of milk. So I go to the supermarket, and I have like no makeup on, and this couple comes up to me and they're like 'Thursday night!'. They sort of yelled it across the vegetable bin, and I'm like, 'Okay, don't look at me, I look awful. I'm going over here by the celery now.'"
- "As a kid, I always felt like I was 10 going on 50. Conversations with adults are better than with people my own age."
