I find that it's the simple things that remind you of family around the holidays.

Moving out to L.A. for me was a leap of faith. I was very secure in my dinner theater world; I loved it, and I was just like, 'I think there's something else out there for me and I just have to go for it.'

In high school, I was so painfully self-aware that how I thought of myself was probably very different from what other people thought of me. I thought of myself as just painfully awkward and dorky. I had a lot of hair and was kind of weird. I sang a lot in the hallways.

It's always challenging when you're shooting a film. Shooting things out of order and keeping continuity on all levels is always for me the most challenging thing.

I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.

If you're not excited by it, why do you do it?

I love accents - I wish I could find an accent for every one of my characters. It makes it so much easier when I don't have to hear my own voice.
