If I have a weakness, it's that I try to live by the rules. I try to live by the rules, no matter what they are, and I was brought up that way as a kid. Play by the rules.
I'm a very by-the-book person.
My family are police officers, detectives. My brother Mitch is FBI. Mitch is like that - a stern enforcer.
Gomez is a by-the-book cop. He's the only character not to break bad.
I really never break the rules. I'm not scared to say what I think or if I really disagree with something then I'll say it, but I'm not kind of like a born rebel.
Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school. I loved the whole slacker look, like, 'Hey, I don't care, whatever,' but if I didn't turn my homework in, I would panic.
Growing up in Kansas City, I was always neat, the teacher's pet, know-it-all type.
Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school.
I'm a goody-goody. I'm the person who sits in the back row, makes fun of the teacher, and secretly does the extra-credit work.
He believes me. But that is nothing new. He always did because I was a rule follower. I played by the rules he understood. But there are new rules now, ones he doesn't know yet. He'll learn. Just as I'm learning.
I am such a goody-two-shoes.
I was a goody two shoes - a straight-A girl, and I took pride in my studies.
I'm such a goody-goody.
I like the exactness of baking. I'm not someone who's like, 'I'll just throw a bunch of stuff together. This is gonna taste delicious.' I am a rule follower: I really like the measuring. It's completely tedious, but I love that. It's calming. And I am a total sweetaholic.
I'm such a goody two-shoes, I don't even taste the fruit at the grocery store. Like oh, are these grapes good? I can't even do that. I'm that much of a rule-follower.
I'm not 'Mr. No-By-The-Book.' I just want to make sure the character is by the book.
