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!

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.

I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.

That's my dream to be old enough and mature enough that I won't be considered an "old lady" if I have a house with a barn. Because I already do needlepoint.

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

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.

I had classical training but I don't consider myself an opera singer though.
