They Say

Matthew Weiner ("Mad Men" Creator)

1. "We were very fortunate. It's been miraculous to watch Kiernan grow up and become so exceptional. She's a prodigy in many ways, and she does it all without pushy stage parents. It comes from Kiernan's own desire to do great work. I can't imagine going back to my 11-year old self and even being able to talk to an adult, let alone handles myself on the set the way she does or learn complicated lines. As a character, Sally is one many, many viewers see as a point of entry. Many people identify with her because they were that age at that time in history. They recognize her relationship with her parents and with the world. I think she's a great character because she's insightful but also so powerless."

2. "When I saw that Kiernan was an actor and not just a cute kid, I realized I could give her as much material as I wanted. The truth is, I've given her more material because I feel the character has gotten more interesting as her parents' lives change."

3. "Obviously like any good actress she's learned a lot by working more and working with great actors, but she has a core talent that is very impressive and has remarkably not changed despite the process of growing up."

January Jones ("Mad Men" Co-Star)

1. "Actually the little girl who plays Sally Draper is amazing: Kiernan Shipka. We're lucky that the kids that we do act with [as Bobby and Sally] are quite professional."
