The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it, so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.

If I wasn't performing, I wasn't alive. That's the truth. My parents had absolutely no interest in the business, but they knew it made me happy, so they said 'Go for it, girl!'

I've learned that I've got to keep level-headed.

I love all things Christmas.

I love singing some Johnny Cash, which is interesting because it's in a guy's key; I love singing Elvis Presley.

We all have an escape. Mine was theater.

I'd love to be a 'Bond' girl.
