I would say if I was any type of nerd, it was probably a band nerd.

I think that's important to have in something like a national television show. It's important to portray a woman realistically, and not just as a bridezilla.

That's what's so cool about 'Once:' There is a layer of darker stuff, but it's balanced by this incredible light.

I went through a really good-looking phase from birth to 9. And then things went crazy. I don't know what happened, but between 9 and 14 it was really, really rough. I didn't have a lot of friends. The only ones who were nice to me were the theater kids. And they were like, 'You can come and join us. No one likes us.

Every time I do a play, it's as if I've never done one before. I'm always confused. I always am convinced I'm going to be fired. I'm like, 'I don't remember how to act. I don't know how to do this.' And, it's just a very slow process, and then, all of a sudden, it's just there one day. I still don't understand how it happens.

I love movies, but I think people think relationships are supposed to go how they go in movies. The ones I like are the ones that represent life.

I think television is really incredible because of the fact that you get to sit with a character for so, and the character does something different, every week. I think that's really interesting.
