I used to audition for musicals when I was in New York before I moved to L.A., but I couldn't quite hit a certain note, so I saw a teacher in L. A. who helped me get better at it. She showed me how to use a different part of my voice. You are never too old.

I find more of an authenticity in people who are a little strange - so I really like characters who are just the tiniest bit weird. I find enormous comfort in that - someone who's kind of normal just doesn't feel as true.

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.

I have a very hard time with confrontation in my own life, and I end up being way too nice.

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.

My family is not at all involved in television, or film, or theatre, or any of it, really.

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