When I grew up in Pittsburgh in my parents' restaurant, I was almost like a country bumpkin.

What I want is the same opportunities as anyone to get a part.

I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.

I love that synergy between being entertainers and having people respond. There’s no greater reward.

I'm always excited to do the fight scenes.

You have to start thinking a little differently as an actor.
