What's monotonous about being an actor and often makes me want to throw in the towel or drive a car off a bridge is the auditioning - the waiting around.

The hardest part was when I was in high school not having a job and always being broke. I had to get to auditions without a car. I either took the bus or walked.

I know as an actor there is a certain liberation auditioning for a role that has no beauty requirements.

I am auditioning again - getting back to theatre would be amazing.

I auditioned for 'Girls' the fall after I graduated from Yale. The show has been amazing - as close to perfect as it gets!

Birdie is amazing and such an incredible child and I'm having such a great time being a mom but I still want to have a career and I still look forward to auditions and parts and when I don't get them I'm disappointed.

My parents were really really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12 I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society ' so we moved to New York for the run of that.

I started auditioning when I was about 10 and I didn't get my first job until I was 12 and two years at that age is really hard.
