Anyone Can Smile On Their Best Day.

I Remember Feeling A Huge Amount Of Anxiety And Worry And Pressure. At That Point I Was Headed Into Acting School. That Was 100 Percent The Only Thing I Thought I Wanted To Do. But Then I Got Through My First Year Of College, And I Was, Like, Humming And Rolling Around, Pretending To Be A Lion In Acting Classes At Nyu And Visiting Our Classmate Charlie Gregg At Harvard, Where He Was Actually Learning Things. So I Changed My Mind: I Decided I Actually Wanted A Different Kind Of Education, And That Was An Incredibly Freeing Idea.

I Could Never Have Predicted The Invention Of Streaming, The Rerelease Of The Show Gilmore Girls On Netflix, And That People Still Wanted To Hear About It. I Do Love How We Came Back To It, But It Was Never Up To Me. It Won't Be Up To Me This Time, Either. If It Ended There, I Would Be Sad, But I Also Like What We Did.

The Best You Can Hope For Is A Great Collaborator.

These Days I Have To Be Extra Nice In Stores. It Never Fails That Whenever I Look As Bad As I Can Possibly Look Or I Am Sort Of Cranky Because The Store Is Out Of Something, That Is Precisely The Time When Someone One Will Recognize Me And Say: 'i Really Like Your Show.'

It's Core To My Beliefs Now: Sometimes In Being Given A Challenge, You're Actually Being Given A Real Opportunity, And A Lot Of That Is How You Handle It. Do You Feel Sorry For Yourself Or Do You Think, All Right! I'll See What I Can Make Out Of This? I've Had That Over And Over. If I Hang Out In The Disappointment, I'll Just Be Disappointed All The Time.
