Give me a hot drink, and I'm happy. Hot cider, hot chocolate, coffee... I like all winter beverages!

I did one year at NYU, and I'd love to go back there someday

I've seen so many period pieces in my life, I really enjoy them so much, a lot of my favorite movies are period pieces.

Most of the theater I've done in the past was when I was a kid or a teenager so it feels like being a kid again. I'm happier than I've ever been. You really get to go to work every day and play, and try different things. I don't know, I've never felt so lucky to do this job. So I hope to do a lot more theater.

When we first filmed 'Gilmore Girls,' I didn't know it would build such a cult following.

I write a lot too, so I would like to write or direct in the future if I can.

I've been trying to find out what my wheelhouse is as an actor. 'Gilmore' was my first job, so only from there did I have a chance to really experiment and see how far I could stretch; I went maybe a little too far in certain directions.

'The Handmaid's Tale' takes place in the near future, a dystopian future, and is based on the book by Margaret Atwood. It takes place in what was formerly part of the United States at a period of time when society has been taken over by a totalitarian theocracy. It's about the women who live in subjugation.

Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.

Each character is a completely whole person with their problems and many sides to their personality. It's so rich with details as well, like the set.

Luckily, I have the kind of personality where I am extremely private. I don't really like to tell everyone my business. I'd much rather people wonder or not know.

It gets kinda monotonous, but that's television. There are plus sides and down sides. The positive side is that you have steady work for nine months of the year for however many years your show is on TV,.

Working on 'Mad Men' was an incredible experience. It was such an incredible show with beautiful writing and so much complexity.

Nearly a decade of time is enough for everybody to change, quite a bit.

I'm not a fan of watching myself on TV - it's just not relaxing. It's like if you hear your voice on a recording: it doesn't sound the same as when it comes out of your mouth.

I just want to live each moment, but it's kind of hard to do that when you are asked to analyze yourself constantly. But it's also good in that you are forced to think about things that you don't ordinarily think about. I think it's strange.

I was modeling with an agency in New York and a manager with the agency introduced himself to me one day and he said he had auditions for someone my age. He asked if I would be interested in doing some.

I always have looked for the best challenge, I guess, that I could take on. I haven't been producing my own work or anything like that, so I've taken the jobs that look most interesting that come my way.
