If you thought America Ferrera looked excited at last night's Golden Globes, you should've seen her this morning.

The tiny actress, wrapped in a long down coat to keep out the cold on the "Ugly Betty" set at Hollywood's Raleigh Studios, chatted with reporters whose visit had been scheduled long before anyone could be sure the "Betty" cast would have had reason to be out late partying.

Not that Ferrera looked tired. Being 22 will do that to you.

Besides the excitement of winning the award, "I did get to meet some people I've admired my entire life," she said. "I took a picture in between Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood and that was just surreal -- I felt like I was at Magic Mountain at one of those fake picture booths."

Asked by one reporter what steps she'd be taking not to become Paris Hilton -- something that seems like a stretch in any case, America being small and polite, Paris being tall and not -- she laughed.

"I promise you I don't have the time for the parties. I truly believe that it's harder for television stars to get into trouble because of the hours that we work."

To give you an idea, Ferrera expected to follow her Golden Globes night with a day in which "I'll probably work about 12 hours, 12 to 15 hours, filming and then go home and go to sleep, and then wake up and do it over."

Any regrets about going back into the braces and the sweater vests after a night of Hollywood glamour?

"Both are like playing dress-up, you know. The glamour -- it's not what I look like in the morning,either, you know what I mean? I don't look like the Golden Globe America and I don't look like Betty, either."
