Seeing the energy of 'SNL' made me want to be a part of it. If that was a job, I thought, that was the job I wanted. That was my plan. Comedy.

I have a great pack of female friends, but I also have a lot of guy friends. I believe that platonic relationship is entirely possible.

A good litmus test is that you should be comfortable with your significant other being present when you hang out with your friend.

I'm still a student of fashion, but I like hooking up with the people that really know how to make cool clothes.

If I could play drums like Patrick Carney or Taylor Hawkins, I'd be a really happy person.

I do not tweeze my eyebrows. I've been letting them grow out for years. I try to fill them in wherever nature has abandoned me.

In my work in Haiti, I've seen the hugely positive effects that happen when people come together to build something in the middle of the most desperate situations.

Documentaries are a powerful and effective way of bridging the gap between worlds, breaking through to new audiences that wouldn't otherwise be engaged - in essence, not preaching to the choir.

In a relationship I'm a very loving person, emotional and sensitive.

I love kids with a passion I usually reserve for hot cheese, miniature chairs, and Prince concerts, but I feel no stress to reproduce simply because of a fear of withering eggs.

In human years I am 29. In actress years I'm the ripe, promising age of 18 to 35. That's how it works here in Hollyweird.

I consider my education to be the first 10 years of my career.

When I have really blonde hair, I usually go for a more natural look, wearing way less makeup.

It's really kind of a luxury for an actor to have the opportunity to show such different types of characters. I actually left 'Cowboys & Aliens' and went straight into 'The Change-Up.' It was kind of a funny change of pace.

Weakness is something we don't like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.

Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.

When I first did theatre, I was always doing comedies; it was always my first love. But it wasn't what I was picked for at first, for films and TV.

I wanted to be on 'Saturday Night Live' since I was ten.

I used to play hooky from school so I could watch cooking shows.

I grew up being told by my parents each time they went off to war that they may explode, so I needed to know how things like the gadgets in the kitchen worked.

I'm a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette.

I feel like the luckiest child in the world because I got to grow up in Ireland. In summer is when you really grow up. During the year, I would go back to the States, and all year long really couldn't wait to get back to Ardmore.

I was a tomboy and I didn't have a bunch of brothers but I always wanted them and so I sort of adopted a few of my great friends to be my brother.

I'm now convinced that I'm a doctor. I mean, if someone says they have a pain, I'm like, 'Well, that's your spleen.'
