Actors push pause on their lives, fly to foreign countries, invest so much and work so hard and get so intimate with a group of people from a crew and cast, and then they say 'that's a wrap' and you push play on your life and there's a middle part of the sandwich, or a tunnel or bridge that you have to kind of walk back over before you can hit play.

From a very young age, music was very much in my house. I would sit with my mom, with the old LPs, listening to The Beatles and Carly Simon and Lionel Richie. The old LPs used to have the lyrics. From there, I would put on dance and music displays for my family, just to entertain them and make people laugh and smile.

When you're amongst people doing well it's so gratifying and spurs you to just keep investing in your job.

I'm not shutting doors on myself, in any way, within theater, musical theater, TV and film.

I like playing off strong actors, whether it's Benedict Cumberbatch or Dominic Cooper. Also I'm a hopeless romantic, so I'm fascinated by relationships.

Martin Freeman is a genius, he really is. He gives you every color of the rainbow in every take and it's wonderful just to play off of him and opposite him.
