In 'The Smurfs,' I was actually a live action character. So, I was a real person in that movie. But I was working with animated characters, which is very strange because they're off recording their work, and we're kind of reacting to nothing when we're doing the film.

I say something bad every day, but I like to swear sparingly because it has more impact.

This morning I was laughing at my cat who was running up the stairs and slipped, and pretended like it didn't happen.

It's amazing what a coral-colored necklace can do to a plain brown cardigan.

When I first moved to L.A., I cleaned apartments after people moved out. When people move, they leave stuff behind and haven't cleaned for weeks. I like to clean - I have no problem with cleaning - but some apartments were filthy and disgusting. And there'd always be a random flip-flop left somewhere on its own.

I definitely know that I'm quirky. I know that I'm different. Red hair definitely made me different growing up.

I loved 'The Carol Burnett Show' - I thought she was the funniest lady I'd ever seen.

I don't remember my dreams. I'm one of those weird people. I know there are tricks and things you can do, but I never remember my dreams.

I was so focused at 21, maybe to my own detriment because I didn't allow myself to have fun. I was constantly looking for the next audition and working to pay the bills.

I was a big fan of 'The Smurfs' growing up, even though by default - my mom used to force me to watch because she was a 'Smurfs' fan.

If everyone had a business model like Raven + Lily, I feel like the world would be an awesome place to live in.

The other day, I noticed I'd arranged my spices in alphabetical order when I was on the phone, without even realizing, and when I was a kid I was constantly cleaning and organizing things - my toys, my sister's cosmetics.

Jane Lynch is incredibly quick-witted, very intelligent, and extremely humorous. Also, on top of that all, just a very wonderful, warm, kind person. She's definitely someone to look up to.

When you're a little girl, you kind of gravitate towards all of the princesses and things.

I'm like a crazy cat lady.

You'd probably think I'm schizophrenic if you looked in my closet.

Growing up I played piano and I sang at a lot of weddings; I grew up in a very small town, a little coal-mining town in Virginia called Grundy. And my family was very sing-songy at home.
