There were definitely bands and musicians I liked that drove my mother insane. I probably liked them all the more for it! Bjork drove my mom nuts. What I listened to was actually pretty mom-friendly for the most part. I wasn't very rebellious.

You're always looking to have a unique experience as an actor, and definitely, being punched by a puppet ranks as a singular experience in my career.
I feel like I go through cycles as an actress.
What I think is a really special movie is 'Black and White' with Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer, which Mike Binder directed. I got to see a screening of it, and I think Kevin and Octavia and Anthony Mackie and Bill Burr all give such beautiful performances in that movie.
You have to have an awareness of where you're going, what the event is, what you're promoting, and who the audience is. That always informs the way you dress.
I think you just have to take everything that happens on a TV show with a grain of salt. You sign up for a show for six years having zero idea where they're going to go with the character, so you just have to get on the ride of the show and go with wherever they take you.
I'm a Bravoholic, and I love 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'
I think when you're in a relationship, either you have something or your partner generally has something that you're having to deal with.
I think there's a sort of satisfaction in defying people's expectations.
When you're shooting at 9 A.M. at a club, you have to use all of your acting skills.
In Los Angeles, sometimes it's hard to find a magazine stand, let alone one that has the magazine that you want. So I find that the longer I live in L.A., the more digitally I consume.
I have a hard time watching people getting punched on screen; I have to close my eyes a lot.
I can't tell you the number of people that are like, 'Has anyone ever told you you look like a blonde Liv Tyler?' And at this point, I'm like, 'Yes... yes, I've been told that.' I mean, she's beautiful. It's not like I'm not totally flattered by it, but then again, I think I look like myself.
I love Opening Ceremony, Kenzo - anything Humberto Leon and Carol Lim touch. I drool over Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou, Delpozo, and Wes Gordon.
My grandfather can barely even hear, and Chevy Chase makes a face, and he laughs.
I've been getting into drinking smoothies in the morning - I like those a lot.
I feel like so often I'm just, like, running around and eating in the car, which is, like, not good, or eating as I'm walking down the street.
When you can impress your mom by saying you've been to someone's concert, you know you're pretty lame.
My mom always said fighting with me as a kid was like going to court. I'm trying to realize that being right is not the most important thing.
I've always wanted to work with Elizabeth Banks. She's so talented and funny, and she's become this force of nature - directing, producing. Being around her is kind of inspiring.
As you can tell by my IMDB page, I like to work.
I used to live in New York, and I have friends that work in the fashion world, and I feel like I had an ear to the ground there.
I don't think I've ever been mistaken for anyone.
For me, I really love 'Tim and Eric' and 'Dr. Steve Brule' and a lot of the Adult Swim shows, so I like strange, weird, sometimes slightly upsetting humor.
I feel like the Internet has embraced the pizza dance. I feel appreciated for once in my life.
I'm really excited that 'The Other Woman' did so well at the box office, and I hope that will keep encouraging people to make movies about women, starring women, about female friendships. More. Please.
It's funny shooting movies because you get to see clubs during daylight hours, which no one should ever see - it's not pretty; there's a reason the lighting is dim in there.
I very rarely listen to music in my car - a lot of people make fun of me for it. But sometimes I listen to music on YouTube. I'm like a teenager.
I think maybe my mom thought that Katharine Hepburn would be a good role model of, like, a strong, smart, independent woman. Maybe she steered me in that direction. You know, because she was really so ahead of her time.
I am wrestling with the overalls trend. I wore so many pairs in junior high, and no one thought they were cute. Perhaps I'll try them cuffed with a tasteful crop top?
I am very up front about about my inability to pronounce things correctly.
Dan Harmon has this idea that characters on TV are allowed to talk about their favorite movies and TV shows and songs.
I've gotten super into restaurants in L.A., so I try to go to different restaurants all the time... that's a good way to explore L.A.: you can drive to a restaurant and discover a new neighborhood.
'Dancing on My Own' is actually a really sad song! It has totally made me cry.
Hey, I'm nothing but honest!
I don't like yelling insults at someone who's never done anything to me.
I'm a terrible cook.
I am short, so even if there are things that I like, or like on other people, I have to be aware that sometimes that won't work on me because I'm not 5'10. It has to have a shape for my body; otherwise, I look like I am two inches tall. I have to wear things that skim my body more closely than a runway model would.
I troll Instagram, Style.com, Elle.com.
On the set of 'Community,' we quote 'Community' to each other. We're a lost cause. We're like a bunch of little kids running around and yelling things.
Sometimes movies that I'm in that I have a leading role don't necessarily get the biggest release, so it's a difficult thing between balancing indies that have uncertain futures and maybe larger films that have guaranteed releases that you have a smaller part in.
I've had weird, weird acting jobs. Low-budget filmmaking where you find yourself in really bizarre places.
I want there to be tons and tons and tons and tons of movies starring women.
I'm spending way too much time test running my Vine videos. I'll go into a room and close the door and be in there for an hour workshopping a Vine video that I never even post. So that's probably a huge time suck.
You can only do so many serious dramas in a row before you want to break. You want a change.
A movie that I've seen probably the most is 'Fanny & Alexander,' the Ingmar Bergman movie. I even dragged my friends to the super long version that had an intermission. I don't know how much they liked me that day.
I am trying to break free from my stripes addiction, but the pull is strong! I need help buying non-stripes.
My mom wouldn't know Tom Cruise if he punched her in the face.
I did live in New York. Yeah, I moved to L.A. for 'Community.' And I gave up my apartment in New York.
I really like the concept of, like, slowing down and savoring your food, enjoying it.
