I moved to New York when I was 10, from Rio de Janeiro. So there was no need for driving: I took the subway, cabs and the bus.

The ocean is 20 minutes away. Nature surrounds me 24/7. I wake up to the sounds of birds chirping. I also love that I can go out to dinner in jeans and flip-flops.

At school, I basically wear one pair of jeans and sneakers for months on end.

I like working consistently. I like working for four months at a time, which is why cable was so attractive. You work for four months, and then you get to do something else, whether it's doing a movie or just being at home with your husband and eventually having a family.

Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you've ever wanted to work with and admire.

I love working out, but I need my brain to be someplace else as my body does the work.

Parking is a nightmare for me... I still have sensors on my car that help me park.
