I feel like you can't get an audience to like your character if she's actually cool, but you can if she's trying to be cool and sometimes fails.

My family has had to become quite understanding about me not returning phone calls when I'm filming.

I'm into 'The Walking Dead,' 'Shaun of the Dead,' obviously, and I've seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on 'Game of Thrones.' Weirdly, it wasn't until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.

For people whose job it is to make sure we make money, there's a lot of pressure.

I'm a pretty big dork. It's crazy. I'm one of those people who grew up with all kinds of musicals, but I was right at that age where 'Rent' was a big deal for me and for my friends.

I get really excited every time there's a female character who is really strong because a lot of females in film are really soft.

My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12, I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society,' so we moved to New York for the run of that.
