I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.

What reaches an audience is honesty. If you're saying something truthful that's supposed to be a funny line, it's going to be funny. And if it's supposed to be a serious line, it's going to be serious. But, I don't think there's a distinction between how you play drama or comedy, if it's based in the truth.

I'd started going to acting classes at 14, played 'Medea' at 15 and really wanted to be a classical actress.

Art is the signature of a generation; artists have a way of defining the times.

. . . it is true, even people with painful childhoods. . . grow up to be more interesting people. So, there's always a positive to a negative.

Believe in the power of your voice! Be yourself. Everyone is unique.

I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.
