I went to performing arts high school, and I took dance and acting every day. Then, I went to Marymount Manhattan College and I have a B.A. in acting, with a concentration in theater performance and a minor in musical theater. I studied there for three years.

Watching Bernadette Peters perform is like an acting class. She's amazing.

I always say leave things at the door. Whether it's at your audition or at your house, leave the problems of the day away. Keep persevering, stick to yourself. Don't do what other people ask, do what you want!

At one point, I even thought, "Oh, I'll take diet pills." I tried it for one day, and I thought my heart was going to explode. It's awful, and I would never, ever recommend it.

I always had a strong support system. My parents always supported the stuff that I did.

I love the sassy skinnies; that's what I usually wear.

I'm always looking for something different to do at the gym.
