I was a very outgoing, gregarious, full-of-energy kid.
I grew up sort of a geeky, tall kid, and I think I was always the one trying to make my friends laugh.
I think Amy Sherman-Palladino has a very specific voice; it's unlike anyone else on television.
Ballet is an incredibly difficult, beautiful art form that takes a lot of training, a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.
Well, I was such a huge fan of Amy Sherman-Palladino and of 'Gilmore Girls.'
I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.
And, as an adult, I tried skiing, and I ended up in tears.
I was so grateful to work on 'Bunheads.' We had so much material, and everything was so rapid-fire, and I developed - through theater too, I developed a really great work ethic. I think preparing for both of them is just that - you come to set ready to go, ready to play. You know your lines. You're ready to work.
I only tweet about food and silly things, but it's really fascinating because I get a lot of response on Twitter, and I'm always looking at the type of people who write me on there, and it is such a variety.
I've done some TV and I've done a lot of theater, obviously, and the last character I played on Broadway was a very fast-talking broad. I'm used to learning material and words.
I loved New York, but I never quite felt like New York was my home either.
I used to cross-stitch because my mom cross-stitched.
I have my little craft bag that I bring with me to set everywhere I go.
My brother is about six years older, and I've always looked up to him.
There's a reason I'm on a show called 'Younger,' because I still think... in every aspect of my life, I'm five or 10 years behind in my mind.
I think of fitness as being about heart health and staying strong and agile. That actually makes me go to the gym. I used to hate it, and you couldn't drag me there, but now I can't stand it if I don't go, which seems weird.
I really do believe that youth comes from how you look at the world.
I'm a T-shirts, sweatpants, and jeans kind of gal; I dress really simply and comfortably. But one of the things I love about being an actor is that I get to wear amazing costumes.
I try to have a very optimistic outlook on life. I try not to take anything too seriously. I try to - and I do - find a ton of joy and happiness in my life, and I think that helps you stay youthful.
I'm like a little Pollyanna. I look at the world with rose-colored glasses.
