That's why I'm an actress, to do something completely opposite from myself

I grew up in a very musical household. There was music and dance. My great-grandma was a famous tap dancer in the '40s, my mom was a dancer, she met my dad on the road when he was on tour in the '60s. Music is my heart and soul, it's my love.

The Wreckoning is a darker song. But the record is positive

Some people might say I need to learn how to relax.

I've had an interesting time adjusting to New York. I'm from California and I'm very much a California girl. I feel lucky to officially say I'm bi-coastal.

I'm very, very, very, very spiritual. I grew up in an organized religion, I went to Sunday school as a kid. I'm very grateful that there was religion. I think it instills a good moral compass.

Normally I wouldn't spoil anything because I love surprises - I don't even shake my presents at Christmas.
