I am usually part of any disaster at a wedding if I'm a bridesmaid, which I've been lucky enough to be several times.

Growing up where I did, the thought of working on a television show or in a movie... that existed on a parallel plane, you know?

I don't know anyone who was never a geek, really, when they look at their own lives. I think that from the outside looking in, you think that you weren't necessarily a tragic geek, but yes, you did lean in that direction.

I love the feeling of being on a team, rehearsing together, sharing a dressing room - I love that so much.

My parents came from a poor background and worked their way up because of education. They saw it as a way to succeed. So they cared about me getting straight A grades when I was growing up.

Well, you can't be trying to achieve success of any kind in this business without accepting that there's going to be a flip side to it.

I have always been drawn to child-related causes. I find that people listen to me more when I advocate for children now that I have my own.
