Congratulations on the SAG nomination! Are you getting ready to head out to L.A. for the awards show?
Yeah, I’m heading out Sunday morning. It’s a quick trip, totally. We have a show for Speed-the-Plow on Tuesday, so I’m coming back to New York on Monday.

Do you have your dress picked out?
I went and got a dress on Monday. I’m kind of laid back to a fault about these things. I don’t like a lot of fuss about it. The dress fits perfectly, so it’s just pretty much all done and very easy.

I just read that Mad Men should be back in July, and I have to tell you that I’m really excited for it.
Really? Where did you read that? I don’t even know that! I know we’re trying to go back, and Matt [Weiner, the executive producer and head writer] just closed his deal, so that makes sense. And I know we’re trying to do everything like the last two seasons, which started I think around the end of July. I can’t wait to go back and get to work on it. We kind of all feel like the actual work is short, because it’s only four months of shooting, and then the rest of the time we’re going to awards shows.

Well, you’ve certainly had some pretty good luck with awards shows…
Oh yeah, no, it’s definitely great. We have had some pretty great experiences.

And how is Speed-the-Plow going?
It’s fantastic. This is our fifth month, our fourth of performances. William H. Macy is fantastic. It’s a marathon for sure, but I’m loving it. And I love that I get to be in New York. I moved to New York at 19, because I wanted to do theater. I ended up doing more TV and films and went back and forth between New York and L.A., so this is a kind of a lucky happenstance. It’s my first Broadway play, too, so it’s sort of been the perfect experience.
