Taking time away from the set of her Fox comedy "New Girl," Hannah Simone scored a feature in the November 2013 issue of REDBOOK magazine.

While donning designer duds from LOFT and Ann Taylor for the Melanie Acevedo-shot spread, the 33-year-old actress dished about her childhood and her sister solidarity with on-screen BFF Jess (played by Zooey Deschanel) on the hit series.

On traveling a lot as a child:
"My mom used to call me a parrot, because the way I spoke would change in every country we'd go to."

On her "New Girl" friendships:
"Comedies often pit women against each other but Cece and Jess' bond feels real and strong, like what I have with my girlfriends."
