On branching into more adult roles: “It’s just really fun to play my age and work with people that I’ve looked up to, like Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher. It was a totally different vibe — we were shooting with a single camera and doing night shoots.”

On her basketball obsession sending her to the hospital: “I’m a die-hard Lakes fan. I went to the hospital because I hyperventilated at home watching a Lakers game. I [also] have a 2009 Lakes championship ring.”

On crazy Christy Lee: “[She's] a Harvard student, who meets Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg right when Facebook is about to take off. She’s a very, very driven woman. She really represents what young women go through when we’re in a relationship, and how much Facebook affects our everyday lives. It’s funny — she’s a bit of a crazy girlfriend.”
