When I stopped doing ballet, I started training in the pool. I would do my barre exercises in the water, because that prevents injuries.

I like pretty conservative guys, good guys. I always look for the qualities I find in my father.

I'm definitely one of those actresses who comes to a set knowing how I want to do a scene, and I definitely love input from my directors and my writers. I know that there's some actors who like to be left alone, they like to be very independent, but I actually really enjoy the teamwork.

I was always the kid on scholarship, I was a soloist with my company, I'd been working with the symphony since I was 14.

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize how wonderful you are, doesnt mean you shine any less.

Every day on the set, things change. You move things around. The actors are creating the roles and bringing them to life, and bringing the moments to life, as they happen. That's the best thing about television. I think it gets misunderstood, when there's one credit that says, "Written by," because that's certainly not the way it happens, in real life.

When I was little, I had a feeling that I was going to end up being an actress. I spent a lot of time alone, I was a very shy girl, and I would pretend I was telling someone about this new role that I got.
