Emmy Rossum and Edie Falco

-
Taylor Schilling
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg "There was a 24-hour period where everyone had watched all 13 hours of season one. All of a sudden, there was over-familiarity [with me]," Schilling says of Orange Is the New Black fame.

Taylor Schilling
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg "People say some pretty mean things about my character. 'You're such a narcissist and so whiny. But I love everybody else on the show,' " Schilling says of Orange Is the New Black viewers. "But it's so exciting to feel like people are actually seeing what you're doing."
-
Edie Falco
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg Falco on when she knew she wanted to act: "I thought, 'I want to do that' when I saw Sweeney Todd. We took a little trip on our school bus, and it was life-changing. It starred Len Cariou and Angela Lansbury. The music is incredible. I was a different person leaving that theater."
-
Zooey Deschanel
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg Deschanel on a rude comment someone has told her: " 'You're so thin! You look so fat on TV.' "
-
Zooey Deschanel

-
Emmy Rossum
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg "Some people say that I'm so much prettier on TV, and people come up to me in the airport, and they're like, 'You kind of look like Emmy Rossum, but she's really pretty.' "
-
Emmy Rossum
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg Rossum on learning from her Shameless co-star: "[William H.] Macy is not afraid to ask our crewmembers, 'Did you think that was funny?' And that's kind of the best lesson: It doesn't matter where a good idea comes from."
-
Mindy Kaling
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg Kaling on when she caught the acting bug: "For me, it was watching Much Ado About Nothing, with Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson, seeing that Shakespeare could be done like that. They had amazing chemistry, and it was truly funny."
-
Mindy Kaling
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg On the best joke she had to cut: "In one episode, Tim Daly, who is so funny, was on the show. And he's very angry at me for prescribing his daughter birth control, and I'm like, 'How dare you come in here with your outdated views on birth control? Who do you think you are? Rick Santorum? Obviously not, because you're not hot.' We have to keep Mindy's political stuff to a minimum."
-
Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg "We film in front of a live audience, and about five years ago, [co-star] Johnny [Galecki] and I started going into the audience and talking to everybody halfway through each show," says Cuoco-Sweeting of her The Big Bang Theory ritual. "It has helped me tremendously. We shake hands and thank everybody. I want to cry every time! It's a big energy jolt."
-
Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting
Image Credit: Photo Credit: Robert Trachtenberg On why she doesn't watch her performances: "I hate the sound of my voice. I can hear it from a mile away — it's nasally. Why do I talk like that? It freaks me out!"
