"Long story short, I booked it off of a self-tape — I honestly never expected to get a call back. It was insane, and within a few days, they were flying me to Los Angeles to test for the network [NBC]. I did my audition that day, and I ended up getting a phone call from a number I didn't recognize. It was Eva, and she was like, 'I just wanted to say congratulations, you got the part, and welcome you to the family. If you need anything, this is my number. I know what it's like to be new — I was you basically on Desperate Housewives.'"

"We have such a fun cast. It just, at this point, feels like a family. I know a lot of people say that, but honestly, we hang out outside of work! We really love each other, and we support each other."

"She's the sweetest, most down-to-earth person you've ever met, and you wouldn't expect that from such a big star. She's nothing short of amazing. I also love just getting to watch her work, because I'm learning so much from her — how she chooses to do a scene, the lighting, and all the camera stuff."

"I was on set, and I called costumes in the other room to talk about a feminine situation. So, we close the door, we're having our conversation, and then I realize I'm still mic'd. We laughed so hard!"

6 On Her Favorite Guest Star

"I would have to say my husband, Andrè Douglas! He was the hot shirtless guy [on episode 10]. When the writers came up with, 'Oh, we need a hot shirtless guy,' they were just like, 'What about Andrè?' I'm like, well you're not going to get a hotter shirtless guy, so I say let's go for it!"
