I had a band with a girl in New York, and we would go around and do gigs. And then I happened to start getting work as an actress.

I always have plans to return to the stage. I leave myself very open. I think what would be more likely is if I did a limited run of something, whether it be a play or a musical.

I can't take the theater side out of myself.

A lot of the music I listen to is indie rock. It's not on the radio.

I feel really blessed to first of all have the opportunity to do music, and second of all to have it be going well.

And the next album I do is going to be different because I'm going to change. I already did that thing where I had a band - and I had a great time with a band - but it was almost like pandering to get a record label deal.

I think, ultimately you know in your heart how much work you've done. You know what you're doing, if you're being honest on stage or not. That's all you being you. But when you acknowledges it - especially with a Tony Award nomination - you just can't help with the guilty pleasure!
