I wanted to be a rock star when I grew up, or at least a singer/songwriter.

My father was a director, and he used to always tell me, "You should be an actress." When I was 17, he gave me a job so that I'd be in the union.

It's so weird that I play this woman who pretty much deals with violence on a daily basis, and I'm such a wimp in who I am.

I think we respond well when we do something well.

There's so many great songs already written, it's kind of really wonderful you don't have to write your own.

When you tour with a band, you're just out there, and it's just you guys. That's your little universe. If you do a play, it's the same deal. That becomes your world, for the cast and crew.

Music is extremely intuitive, which acting too in a different way.
