- Learned to play drums for her role in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010).
- When she first auditioned for Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), the director, Sara Sugarman turned her down, as she had a more androgynous appearance in mind for the character of Ella. Pill took pictures of herself as a boy and auditioned a second time, and finally got the part.
- Gave birth to her 1st child at age 30, a daughter named Wilder Grace Leonard on November 19, 2016. Child's father is her husband, Joshua Leonard.
- Was engaged to actor Jay Baruchel from December 2010 until March 2013.
- Nominated for the 2006 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play for "The Lieutenant of Inishmore".
- When I meet people I'm not usually freaked out. I guess the first big name I worked with was Sissy Spacek and that was really interesting just because she's so incredible and I learned so much from just watching her. But she's also so unassuming that I loved working with her. It wasn't like working with a star, it was Sissy. Not a big deal.
- [On accidentally tweeting topless photo of herself] Anytime I met a new person 'Boobs! Nice to meet you. You've seen my boobs'.
