In Vanity Fair magazine Weiner spoke about January. He stated:
“It was one of the most remarkable auditions I’ve ever seen and I think I can say this with impunity at this point—[before Mad Men] she was not taken seriously as an actress". January has revealed that "A lot of the stuff that I do with Betty is in the eyes. A lot of the feelings that I evoke with her are unspoken, so that’s been fun to play with". January has said that she went into Matt Weiner's office and said, “I don’t know if I agree with this and how it’s going,” referring to the last episode of season 2. It confused her that Betty agreed to have an affair.
