People see a lot of huge stuff on Broadway, but there's always Off-Broadway energy and also shows that you can work in.

I get a lot of independent films from people who are starting out.

I am so grateful and honored to be nominated. Working on Grey's Anatomy for the past few seasons has been a blessing and I have loved developing the character, Adele. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Shonda Rhimes and I want to thank her for keeping my character alive for all of these seasons.

For movies, I usually do an entire book that has all kinds of things about what is happening at the time the movie is going on and try to get into what my character's going to be like, to try to get some consistency, because they shoot movies out of order.

I still have to audition for most things.

Oftentimes when kids are left with their grandparents they're not agile enough to keep up with all of the things that they're going through.
