Quote by Christina Hendricks

“I'll always miss Mad Men, of course, but it is interesting to finally answer different questions after nine years.

So all of a sudden people were like, "Oh, do you feel like you're being typecast?" I would say, "No, this is just opening the doors." No one thought I could do it and someone finally trusted me to do it.”
