Everything was just so spot on and character-building for me in terms of creating Celia [Bryant]. The ability to get to wear all these vintage pieces and immerse yourself in that world and get to wear all these amazing hats. And the shoes!

I loved the idea [of improvisation], but I'd never taken any classes or practiced it.

The idea that I get to travel and do what I love and call it a job is just a blessing.

But the thing is, I was never looking at a strategic way of gaining fame. That's not why I'm doing this.

I'm not against Twitter or Facebook. I'm not against anything. Never say never.

I'm a huge fan of the series of books by Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments. I'm a fan myself, so to be cast as the lead heroine is completely incredible.

The idea of improvisation kind of freaked me out.
