On how her friends and family reacted to her casting as Peter Pan: "Their reactions were very specific. I called [Lena Dunham] the night before it was announced, and she said, 'Oh my gosh this is the coolest thing. It's the best possible thing you could have told me just now. It's so subversive, you're going to be in drag.' It was such a classic Lena reaction. A lot of my friends cried. It was sweet and also troubling, because I had never shut up about being Peter Pan and if they knew me long enough, they knew how much I want to do it. My mom and my family members cried. My grandparents weren't surprised. I guess when your friend is an actress, there really isn't a phone call you can make that will shock them."
