"I embrace the mess. I had to be careful not to screw up in public as a child actor. So on my new show, Younger — which is written by Darren Star, who created Sex and the City — it's really fun for me to play Kelsey, a 27-year-old book editor whose personal life is a hot mess. She always chooses the wrong guy, drinks way too much, and has to cover for herself the next morning."
"There's definitely a stereotype because of my past, starting so young and people growing up with me. But I think [Younger] felt like a step in the right direction. I never really let it make decisions for me. I never wanted to sign onto a show that I didn't feel was a good fit for me."
