On my first date, my boyfriend asked me if I wanted to eat a la carte, and I said that I would prefer to stay inside!

I mangle phrases constantly. The other day I was chatting with my boyfriend and I said to him, 'He really sold him under the bus.' And he said, 'I think you meant 'threw him under the bus,' or 'sold him up the river.

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

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.

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

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 did plays in high school and I really loved it, but I think singing was always what I loved most of all.
