I don't think it necessarily makes me want to go back to my 20s, but what I love about playing any type of character is the escapism.

Everyone's "journey" is different. Obviously with mine, I've had some amazing breaks, but then you have to be ready to seize the moment when the timing and the luck line up. You can't be afraid. You have to be open. I feel like I've always been a leaper, and I've always leapt into things without thinking.

When I look at my longterm goals for the rest of my life, there are so many things other than performing that make me happy.

I grew up sort of a geeky, tall kid, and I think I was always the one trying to make my friends laugh.

I love to teach, I love to draw, I love animals. So I don't feel like I am relying on one thing to lead me in my career.

It's a bit of an outside-in approach - so often the clothing can reveal so much about a character. It's like part of her superhero costume that she gets to put on and become someone else.

One of the things that I loved about when I met my husband was that he picked me up and he paid - I know that sounds old-fashioned but for me, most of my life, I always would split the bill or would always pay, or I would be very assertive about my independence and my financial responsibility. And I am a very strong woman and very strong-willed - but there was something really great about him taking care of me and treating me and opening the door and driving, and I am perfectly OK with that. And he still does it to this day.
