One of Mia's turn-ons is seeing old hotels. She finds the architecture of the 1930's to be very romantic. She also loves that the decaying condition of these structures project something raw about them.

Among the quirks of Mia are that she likes to sleep with her closet doors closed and that she needs the sheets she sleeps in to be white.

Mia finds unpedicured feet on guys unattractive.

Mia came close to playing the lead in Clueless and She's All That.

Mia grew up watching 80's teen movies. She considers The Breakfast Club, Some Kind of Wonderful and Pretty in Pink to be wonderful movies.

Mia was an extra in the 1990's movie The Freshman. This was after she landed her first agent.

In 2002, Mia was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for her kiss with Beverly Polcyn in Not Another Teen Movie.

She owns one dog, a white maltese named Pablo. As a prank on the set of The L Word, the hair and makeup staff dyed her dog blue with vegetable dye.

She frequently performs in lesbian or bisexual roles.

She has a tattoo on the back of her neck.

She directed a short film, Victor, about a drag queen and his search for love in a very hard, cold, sexualized world.

She is 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 metres) tall.

While on the set of 24, Actor Carlos Bernard played a prank on her, he thought it would be funny to report Kirshner as a marijuana user to cop pals and have them arrest her on the set. But Kirshner and producers weren't laughing when the police officers took the practical joke too far and insisted the actress accompany them to their local station. Bernard then staged a fake fight with the cops, which left Mia distraught and unable to film scenes with her joker co-star for hours.

She appeared in Marilyn Manson's music video for Tainted Love in 2001.

The Stuff magazine cover she did with Chyler Leigh was the first time that magazine ever featured multiple people on the cover. Mia has also appeared on the cover of the magazine named Esquire dated March 2004.

She played Sarah Logan in the pilot for the TV show D.C., but the role was later re-cast.
