I've always loved the fashion of the '30s and everything that came with the Art Deco era - the jewelry and the glamour.

I started singing at the Met when I was seven, and the competition was so fierce that it really prepared me.

It wasn't my intention in going after this part but I suppose now I do. The adult roles are a lot meatier - you're not always just the daughter or the girlfriend or whatever.

In terms of the characters, I definitely do look for somebody that I think people can learn from and I can learn from too. In one way or another, by the fact that they are a role or by that fact that they aren't a role model. I feel like I was attracted to the past few characters that I've played, because they have an element that really touched my heart.

Men only need two things - grilled cheese and sex.

All the Hollywood bullshit and accolades and money really doesn't matter. It just gives you a slightly nicer house and slightly nicer food and slightly shinier hair.

Ideal date is doing something new, either hiking a new place I've not been, or learning something weird and new like pottery.... and then a meal.
