I’m not homely enough to play the nerdy girl and not nearly pretty enough to play the pretty girl.
I’m a geek who loves fashion. There’s been a reinvention of the word geek. It means being passionate about anything that’s under the radar or sort of frowned upon, like Comic-Con.
I’m more of a homebody. I’m constantly asked: ‘Why don’t we see you out?’ But that’s not what drives me. I prefer to have people over – which I do a lot, because I bought a house that’s way too big for me, and four of my friends live there.
It’s definitely a difficult thing to capture and I mean, I’ve seen a ton of movies where I’ve believed the couple and I’ve seen a ton of movies where I have not believed them at all. Unfortunately, as an audience member, you check out if you don’t believe them.
I don’t want to be pigeonholed into doing just romantic comedies. But they’re fun, and especially for women, it’s nice to go to see them and enjoy that breath of fresh air.
I did find out about the koalas and how eucalyptus makes them high and why they sleep all day. They’re little druggies.
I think your significant other should be way more important than your work. Personally, I love working. I don’t know that I’d say I’m a workaholic because I also love maxing and relaxing.
There are so few strong roles for women, especially young women. And Veronica is very serious but also very likable. She’s a lone wolf, and it appeals to people that she isn’t rich and doesn’t have a lot of friends. No posse. She’s just like you, like most of us.
I loved Veronica right off the bat. She was so strong and I think it is so important because there are so few shows that portray women, especially young women, as being strong and being able to stand up for themselves.
I think people who struggle to define themselves might never be satisfied because there is no definition. Living with responsibility is important, but I don’t really think you have to grow up.
I’ve got more junk in the trunk than most 5-foot-1 blonde girls, and I like it.
And I thought, there’s a sloth near. There’s a sloth here, it’s close, it’s gonna happen. And I didn’t know how to process that, because my entire life had been waiting for this moment.
Part of my becoming a vegetarian was that I would look at my burger, then look at my dogs, and I wasn’t able to see a difference.
I work in a creative industry. My work isn’t terribly hard, it’s artistically explorative, so I have no complaints.
We have a family calendar and it’s how everybody runs. In truth, there’s no trick to balancing it. If you look at the calendar and you’ve seen you’ve gone 10 days without a date night, you know you need to prioritize more.
Something magical happened when I turned 25 – I looked in the mirror and was like, ‘You might not get carded for an R-rated movie anymore.’ Like I didn’t have a little stick figure anymore.
As the actor, you just have to believe in what your character is doing in order to play them.
I’ve definitely grown, and I think I’ve done enough stuff that people might look at me only as Veronica Mars. But honestly, I really don’t mind if they do.
I’ve always idolized Amy Poehler, because I think she’s the best of the best as far as female comedy.
People might look at you as super-weird, but if that’s your obsession, go for it. I do like a lot of mainstream stuff, and sometimes I also like different stuff. I tend to always root for the underdog.
