Jordana Spiro

“I have known guys who love girls because of their tiny little wrists, and it just makes me want to puke.”

Playboy.com: Are you a sports fan?

Jordana Spiro: I wasn't, but I've become one. Because my character P.J. makes a sports analogy to everything that goes on in her life, I wanted to learn as much as I could about baseball. My executive producer has taken me under her wing, and I've adopted the teams that she likes, like the Tigers.

Playboy.com: On My Boys, P.J.'s obsession with sports makes her kind of romantically challenged. Do you think sports-loving girls are romantically challenged?

Spiro: I don't think it's because she's a sports-loving girl that makes her romantically challenged. If anything that's a great thing to share in a relationship. It's the fact that she has such a close-knit group of guy friends who she enjoys being around that makes her unavailable. She'd rather go home and play poker than go on a date or get gussied up.

Playboy.com: We see her drinking a lot of beer and eating cheeseburgers and playing poker all the time. Is P.J. going to weigh three bills at the end of the season?

Spiro: She's a jogger. My eating habits aren't too far from hers, but it does entail some running.

Playboy.com: Your roommate got a so-called "girl booty call" -- an emotional, rather than sexual booty call -- on one episode. Is that a real thing?

Spiro: That was the first time I'd ever heard of it. The content of it rang true, but calling it the GBC -- I had never heard that before.

Playboy.com: P.J. rags on a perfect, sexy dancer girl because she has "little wrists." Why?

Spiro: That was funny, because that did ring true. I have known guys who love girls because of their tiny little wrists, and it just makes me want to puke.

Playboy.com: You've lived in New York and Los Angeles. Which one is better for dating?

Spiro: Oh, gosh. I would say my initial thought would be that New York would be easier. You're just more in contact with people. In L.A., you can live in a bubble in your car. You're only meeting the people who you work with or who are in your social circle. In New York, there's more opportunity to just bump into people.

Playboy.com: In your dating life, is there a base that's fair game for a first date.

Spiro: No, you gotta go with the flow.
