I wanted to see myself as something different, and I wanted to convince people that I was capable of something other than what they would expect from me.
I'm actually really proud of how I believe people perceive me in this industry. I worked really hard to be seen in a certain way. I think I get a lot of respect for what I usually do. I find that comedic world completely fulfilling and wonderful and they're all my best friends.
I'm also 31 years old. It's not like I'm some kid who can be slapped across the newspaper pages like some harlot.
If I was on Game of Thrones, I think the nudity and sex questions would probably get irritating, but this is a show about sex.
In fact, the first time I ever got naked on TV was the biggest confidence booster of my life.
I was a weird tomboy most of my life. I didn't see the power in my own female form for quite a long time. Maybe that's a good thing.
I find that break-ups are so much easier when you can hate the person.
When you get seen in one particular way, it can be paralyzing. You start to believe it's all you can do.
It's refreshing, honestly, to be able to have more intellectual conversations about sex and the meaning of sex, and intimacy and what that means in relationships. As a person in the world, it's on your mind. It's a part of your life, after a certain age until you're dead. So, to be able to examine it in a different way is really fulfilling.
