With "the Office," They Said,

Laura From The Mysteries Of Laura Is The Most Different From Me Personally That I've Ever Played. I'm A Very Thoughtful, Forward-thinking, Planner Kind Of Person. I Love Excel Spreadsheets And Five-year-plans, And I Love To Review Every Year How My New Year's Resolutions Went. I'm Like That, And That Is Not Laura At All.

I Loved The Domesticity Of My Life As A Struggling Actor. When I Wasn't Going To Auditions, I Could Do Things Like Cook Dishes From Scratch And Take Them To Parties Or Be Really Thoughtful About Birthdays And Anniversaries.

I Got Divorced, After Having Been Married For Almost Eight Years. That Is A Very Life-altering Experience. There's A Period Of Time That You Go Through, Where You're Having To Adjust To Knowing Yourself And Knowing Who You Are From Being A Couple To Being An Individual Again.

You Never Go Into A Marriage Expecting To Get Divorced. You Go Into A Marriage Expecting It's Going To Last Forever, And You Have A Lot Of Ways You Dream About The Future. You Have All These Expectations, And Then You Have To Adjust Those Expectations, And It Can Be A Very Unnerving, Confusing Time.

I Don't Know If This Is True Of Everyone, But I Have This Relationship With My Parents Where, Despite However Mature Or Articulate Or Grown-up I Think I've Become, As Soon As I Go Home, I Turn Into This Petulant 13-year-old, Especially With The Tone Of My Voice.
