Alexis Bledel

I like period pieces.

Sylvia Plath wasn’t scared of exploring the darker side of her psyche.

Nearly a decade of time is enough for everybody to change, quite a bit.

I’m still a shy person. I’ve learned to put that aside on certain occasions. I have to. It’s part of my job.

Well, I think that a lot of times when you’re working on a film, there aren’t really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.

I always thought that I would work behind the camera, because it’s a more comfortable place for me to be, really.

Well, I think every film student goes into film school thinking they want to write and direct their own movies, and they don’t realize how much goes into it, and what a process it is.

I did one year at NYU, and I’d love to go back there someday.

I’m the kind of person who, if I like one song, will listen to all of the band’s work before moving on to another group.

A lot of girls ask for advice on how to get into acting, and I’m kind of the worst person to ask, because it just kind of fell in my lap… I was just in the right place at the right time.

Luckily, I have the kind of personality where I am extremely private. I don’t really like to tell everyone my business. I’d much rather people wonder or not know.

Give me a hot drink, and I’m happy. Hot cider, hot chocolate, coffee… I like all winter beverages!

When we first filmed ‘Gilmore Girls,’ I didn’t know it would build such a cult following.

A story isn’t interesting unless a character has real challenges to deal with.

I really enjoy working, you know, on streaming outlets because there’s so much creative control for the creators of the shows, and, you know, you’re allowed to make such great television.
