My actual personality probably lies someplace between the two.

I was able to support myself by acting alone about six years ago. Until then, I was just scraping by.

Well, yeah, but I probably wasn’t as open about my desperation.

There were a lot of times I wondered if I was deluding myself. I had nothing else to fall back on, but I never enjoyed anything else.

I was a young kid from Long Island who wanted to do something large with her life, so I can relate to that.

I actually washed my window once, and it fell through – it was being held together by the dirt.

One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.

My actual personality probably lies someplace between the two.

I wanted to act; that was my one goal. I wanted to devote all my time to acting and not waitressing or anything else.

I’ve watched those shows my whole life – being on one is like a dream. It’s hard to balance that dream with the fact that this is the Edie I’ve known my whole life.

And hey-the psychiatrist in the show is Italian also. So people are going to focus on what they want to focus on. There’s not much you can do about that.

It’s hard to notice things without people noticing me and that takes some getting used to.

When a show has gotten as much attention as this one, everyone wants to join in with something to say.
