Alison Brie

Alison: (on her preference between doing comedy or drama) I've flip-flopped on both throughout my career. When I was in college and growing up I was like, 'It's comedy for me! I'm so funny!' Yikes. Then when I started acting, right away it was drama, and with Mad Men it's my first success in television and obviously it's a heavy drama. What I like about it is, [drama and comedy] both appeal to both sides of me.

Alison: (in a 2009 interview) I'm pretty mellow, and I stay around South Pasadena and Pasadena a lot because I'm a homebody who's fine with dinner and a movie. But my boyfriend is from Texas, and two years ago, I went there with him on the ultimate trip where we shot guns, drank beer and saw the rodeo. When I got back, I was like 'Let's go to the gun range!' My parents are so anti-gun and I used to be, but now I feel so empowered when I go to the L.A. Gun Club downtown. It's sort of seedy, but hey, I love going.

Alison: (At a party, you’ll find me...) Dancing and probably taking my top off.
