I think [Britney] is a really nice person who is just stuck in this frickin' crazy ball of media attention and it's just crazy. I would never be able to handle that amount of publicity and that amount of press surrounding me at all times.

I've always seen the mother as someone we meet and then that's the end of the show, so if [CBS] is like 'Guys, you don't have a fourth season,' that's when writers would be like, 'OK!

Ted is such a romantic, he’s more of the girl in the situation, I suppose. But I think it’s a realistic approach. A lot of people have opinions about Robin and him not ending up together, but I always say, just because they don’t end up together doesn’t mean it’s not a significant relationship.

There are a lot of sides to the characters on our show. Lily can be sarcastic, smart, funny. They’re hooking into all these grey areas of the characters.

What's more awkward than doing a shower scene? Rehearsing a shower scene. Josh Radnor and I were like: 'We're imagining water running right now.'

Yes. It’s very interesting of them to pursue that and explore that type of relationship, even though everyone knows she’s not the mother. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less significant.
