I feel like I've found my voice in the actor's business. Because when you first get out of school and you're looking for jobs, you don't want to rock the boat - you can't rock the boat. You'll get known for being that sassy girl that, like, has no résumé and no one wants to work with her. But now, I'm "proven," at least in the television world, and hopefully in the theater world. I'm working on the film world. Unfortunately, it takes a while to build that kind of street cred. It's been recently that I even started to have more confidence in myself.

It's shocking when someone who is really bad thinks they're really good. It's heartbreaking, because singing is such a vulnerable thing to do.

Ultimately, I don't think you can teach a tone-deaf person how to sing. Some talents you're just born with, unfortunately.

I went to college at North Carolina School of the Arts and took a lot of singing classes, and it really is so connected to emotions.

I always like to be a step ahead of the audience by surprising them and the best way to do that is to not hold back.

I started doing regional theater. My first job was "The Importance of Being Earnest" at Dallas Theater Center.

You always envy someone else's life and, as a woman, you're always comparing your life to someone else's life.
