I try to exercise, I try to think of it less as vanity and more like, how do I stay healthy from the inside out? I try to make my insides happy and healthy and I think that reflects on the outside.

I'd had the theater background for so long that I know that world inside out; I just didn't know the pace of how a TV set works, like how a show shoots.

I'm actually excited about being in my 40s. I mean, that's ironic considering the show I'm on, but I have never felt like I need to feel or look the same as when I was 20.

I've never had to deal with ageism - so far - in my career; I have been able to navigate my career and getting older and the roles and opportunities that have come to me.

I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.

It's weird to have leisure - to have time off. I'm not used to it.

I've never lied about my age.
