I let steam off by watching 'Downton Abbey.

What makes an actor, I think, is a combination of a deep curiosity about life and a case of the crazies.

I love all things Queen - their songs are epic storytelling.

I got last-minute rush seats to Baz Luhrmann's 'Boheme,' and my favorite singer, Ekaterina Solovyeva, was playing Mimi that day. My face got burned off when she sang the aria 'Donde Lieta Usci.' The woman was technically sobbing and singing opera at the same time. I don't know how you do that.

Every audition is different, but I get incredibly nervous and insecure and worked up for however long I have to prep - that's when I get to spin. But you're not allowed to spin once you enter the room. Doubt really can't enter the room when you're auditioning - unless it's part of the character.

I watch so much television, it's embarrassing.

I've had a very supportive mother my entire life, so I've had strong women around me.
