To play Cleopatra on Broadway would just be incredible.

I try not to limit myself. The actors that inspire me are the comedians and the people able to shape-shift into different roles and into different media. That ensures your longevity as an artist and prevents you from getting bored with yourself and, hopefully, prevents people from getting bored with you.

There is the old boys' club, but there are ­people who are "conviction lobbyists" coming from the heart.

From the age of four, I loved ballet and tap. I was in the school band, the choir, and all my school plays.

I was always the one leading the way in terms of wanting to do acting, singing and dancing.

I think all characters that we play are facets of ourselves.

Because of my job, my hair gets played with a lot on set, so I try to give it little bit of breathing space when Im not working.
