I had been wanting to do a musical for a really long time. I wanted people in New York to know that I can sing.

I started performing in high school. There was a pretty great drama department at my school, and that's when I started doing plays and musicals.

I used to audition like crazy - I would go on a hundred before I got anything. It took me a long time to get any jobs at all. It was hard until I booked 'Galaxy Quest,' and then it started to get easier.

My family is still very Southern Baptist, and they're religious.

The older I get, the more I appreciate what came before.

The thing about living in Los Angeles and doing a lot of movies is that you get to go to a lot of premieres, and, regardless of whether or not you're a celebrity, you still get to walk down the red carpet and then have everyone sort of screaming your name. The pictures never get printed anywhere, but they are nonetheless taking your picture.

I feel more comfortable when I'm somebody else, I think. When I'm taking a picture as myself, the whole idea of taking a headshot, to me, feels very false.
