I would say what Mad Men has taught me has been a super elevated evaluation of text in general, and understanding subtext, and understanding where a character comes from - what he means by this or by that.

For the beginning of my career, I was always playing people younger than me.

I live in Los Angeles, which is the youngest place - there's no history to Los Angeles. Everything's fake.

I was a weird kid.

I think a sense of humor will help get a girl out of a dark place.

I have always been more relaxed around comedy.

I used to love, love Steve Martin. I still do... I would get these albums, and I would just listen to them all the time. I would stand in my room and pretend that I was delivering his comedy routine... And I don't know if that planted any kind of seed, but I wasn't raised going to the theatre.

Sometimes if you do a multi-camera comedy, often there's rules, like, 'We've got to have three main laughs per page.'
