Of course, when you work on a character, you try to understand her. You feel that everything she does has a reason.

My parents were not pushy or anything like that. I think my mom was still expecting me to be an astronaut, but now she is very happy that I'm not doing that.

I really enjoyed being Peppy Miller. She was an amazing character and her energy followed me everywhere. When I talk about her I want to be her again.

I'm okay. Nobody's bothering me. Everyone's very kind, and very polite. I don't feel like my whole life changed.

Even in the very beginning when she would bump into George Valentine and people would start taking pictures of her, she never thought "I'm with George Valentine. I need to get a picture with him." She's like "oh that's funny. Everyone's taking pictures!"

Maybe I'll put my iPod in two minutes before. But truly, I've listened to actors say that they loved to listen to music before a shot, and I really understand that now because it puts you in the mood and gives you energy.

As an actor, you think you have to go really far and deep and cry and yell to be good in a scene. Sometimes that's not the point.
