From NY Times article:

“Kat is incredibly interesting because she’s the ironic indie girl succeeding in a big, broad comedy. “You talk to the other networks, and they all say, ‘I wish I had that show,’ and Kat is a big reason why.”

‘2 Broke Girls’ Star Kat Dennings Wants to ‘Bring the Sitcom Back’

Never mind that, at 25, Kat Dennings has acted in The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Thor, that she co-stars on 2 Broke Girls, television’s most popular new sitcom, or that her title role opposite Michael Cera in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist made her the cult-crush object of thousands of Michael Cera-ish boys nationwide: She has zero interest in Young Hollywood life. “I live in the Valley,” she says. “I’m a reclusive weirdo.”

Dennings is at a Valley cafe, decked out in don’t-notice-me gear: gray hoodie, blue jeans, oversize handbag clutched over her chest like a shield. She takes out her phone to show me how a reclusive weirdo decorates her apartment. “I forget the artist, but I love these prints,” she says, zooming in on a photo of a drawing of Jesus flanked by the StarKist tuna mascot and Popeye. “Their bodies are made of organs, like eyeballs, intestines and stuff.” I raise an eyebrow. “The more unsettling,” she says, “the more I feel at home.”

Dennings is the Pennsylvania-bred daughter of a biochemist dad and speech-therapist mom, whose appeal lies in her unsunny, unsentimental disposition. On 2 Broke Girls, playing a tough Brooklyn waitress called Max, she spends half her scenes sighing scornfully, and the other half making vagina jokes, but she says the writers are going to draw on her dramatic chops, too. “The show’s not just a ha-ha machine,” she says. “I grew up watching The Golden Girls, The Nanny – I want to bring the sitcom back.”

Kat Dennings is Weird (In a Good Way)

Kat Dennings is hammering home that she’s a weirdo the way other actresses cake on their down-to-earthness and frequently indulged desire for In-N-Out burgers. “I don’t think I’m a weirdo in a bad way, there’s just a lot going on in my head,” she says. To be fair, she’s fielding a question as to why she’s called herself “weird” in just about every medium available—there was her recent tweet (“People are weird. Boys are weird. Men are weird. Love is weird. You are weird. I am weird. Life is weird. Weird is weird. Look, a MINOTAUR!”), multiple posts on her blog proclaiming her oddball status (“As you are undoubtedly aware from reading this endless omnibus of redonkulousness, I am kind of a weirdo” and then, just minutes into in our phone conversation, she labels herself “a weird one” yet again. Now she’s talking like she almost has it: “Maybe it’s a movie thing? I want to see as many movies as I can and I covet a lot of weird influential movies. I have a lot of favorite authors…Douglas Adams and Charlotte Bronte and Richard Brautigan. I get obsessed. That could be it—how I get obsessed with things. Though I think if I could put my finger on my exact weirdness I’d be able to change it.”
