I love hip-hop; I love Sleigh Bells. I also love classical music and musical theater.

I'm fascinated with psychology, and with why a person walks the way they walk or why they walk into a room the way they do or why we are the way we are, and it's not exclusive to the psychology of a character.

I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So performing was always part of what I was. I don't know if it I enjoyed the response I got from people or if I liked having an audience, but there's something in me that wanted to perform.

Just to be on set with Amy Poehler, who's one of my heroes, was a total dream come true.

My favorite actor on the planet is Gena Rowlands and she plays women who, to me, somehow defy gender. They are women, they are feminine, they are masculine, they are everything. There's something exciting about that. I don't know how to articulate it exactly. I guess it's busting out of the archetypes a little bit and not feeling restricted.

I think being idle is quite hard for me to do.

I love people, watching people interact. It's a lot of psychology. We learn about ourselves by watching other people's lives on the screen.
