There are a lot of perks when you're an actor. Free food at work was my second favorite in the beginning, but my first was the weird stuff. Like seeing celebrities in no makeup and finding out what they ate.

I remember my choir teacher in high school told me, 'When in doubt, sing loud.' I'm a terrible singer, but I always auditioned for the musicals, and would get cast in them because I really would just put it all out there. That was really good advice, and I think it works for everything, not just acting.

I took ballet dancing forever, and there was a natural transition into acting.

The truth is that the actresses who I look up to are either my age or a few years older or a lot older.

Any time you learn something new about your character, that's really exciting.

It's so cheap to just release a movie. You can do it by yourself if you have to. Put in on the Internet if you have to.

Sometimes when you're given hurdles, it makes you more creative in the end.

I firmly believe that everyone should have to work in the food service industry at least once in their lives.

I found the structure of writing a screenplay harder than the structure of writing an essay. But it was definitely challenging to force myself to sit and write. I'm not used to having to force myself to work.

Citizen Ruth' I saw when I was in college, and I really flipped out over it. I just knew I wanted to work with the person who made that movie.
