I like to be the one in charge of everything.

I stayed in New York City for the first time, I'd always wanted to do that.

I like people who would rather something be discovered than shoved in your face.

But I always like to play ugly people who think they're pretty.

When people tell me they are going to go scrapbooking, I say, 'Why don't you make it yourself.' It's like chocolate-chip cookies. People buy the cookie-dough roll and slice it, and then they lay it on a cookie sheet. That's not making chocolate-chip cookies.

Well I went to New Orleans to cover the jazz festival for Trio, it's this new arts channel, it's really great.

I'm drawn to real-life characters. A lot of the characters I play, I've had in me since second grade. I've been dragging them around my entire life, and then sometimes I marry them with different people. But seldom have I really come up with a new character. In my head it's like, "I'll pull that person out that I've been doing since sixth grade and see where they're at right now.".
