I see my parents a lot more often, but what I liked about the challenge of my part was I got to have those little kid feelings of being the daughter, and then switching and being a Mom.

I find that protein wakes up my brain and gets me ready for the rest of my day.

Not to get overly psychological about this, but it's probably why I became an actress in the first place: for that kind of freedom and refuge, as well as for the fact that I just love acting so much.

I grew up on musicals, and I know they are quite the thing now, but I'm actually a little indignant, because I started taking singing lessons years ago - I put the time in!

I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist.

I really don't like when things are all polished and perfect - the perfect love story and the hair is perfect.

I love being outside and getting fresh air.
