- Lesli Glatter directed an episode of 'Mad Men' and then came in to direct an episode of 'House.' And she didn't recognize me at all.
- In a way, I don't want to know what's being said in casting offices, because it can get pretty brutal, and I don't want to have to think about the reasons why I don't get one job or do get one job. I can say, 'Oh, my height,' and that'll make me feel better, but I don't know for sure.
- Playing the misunderstood character has been really interesting to me. But I think after too long, that also becomes a little bit of a cliché. Or that's all you're expected to do. I didn't want that to be the totality of what my career was.
- Nobody ever recognizes me from 'Mad Men,' because they darken my hair a little bit.
- I don't really know on the jobs I don't get - nobody calls me up and says, 'Yeah, you were too tall!' I don't know if it was that or one of a bunch of other factors. But it is awkward. I can't wear heels.
