It is very grand and sumptuous and awesome to look at but it was really about the characters for me.

Theater is such a different ballgame than film. And that's really why I stayed in film, because I really love the reality of connecting with your own feelings, and really putting that across in a realistic way. In film, the smallest muscular movements in your face, that are produced just by sheer feelings, you're not controlling them in anyway, can be seen by people in the audience because your face is sometimes, frighteningly, 40 feet wide!

I think we're all a lot more like our parents than we want to admit.

Being on Twitter, live tweeting some of the episodes, I get direct feedback from people.

When I read the scripts, I'm always so excited to see what's going to happen because it's unpredictable.

I've never been a person who focused on trends. I'm influenced and inspired by trends, but I don't always subscribe to them.

I hope that I'm sexy in a different kind of way than I think that a lot of girls are right now. I think a lot of girls in the public eye, especially musical artists, are just kind of objectified a little bit and wearing super-skimpy outfits and leaving nothing to the imagination.
