I have to say I've been lucky in that way in that I've been able to go from different films and different genres with different challenges.
Working with green screen, you really rely on the director in a way that you don't on different types of films.
One of my least favorite things about being even remotely recognizable is that I'm not allowed to watch in the same way anymore. You try not to hide from the world because you want to still participate and still be inspired by what's around you.
I find that in life all you can do is try to be honest about who you are and how you're feeling, and trust that it will be received in the correct way.
Whitney Houston came in. Someone dared me to do "the Gap act" on her. You know, the Gap act. So I went up to her like I didn't know who she was, and I said, 'Hi, I just wanted to let you know about our sale items and make sure to check out our new colors'. She looked at me like I was crazy (On working at The Gap).
I graduated high school and I didn't have a skill set and I didn't want to go to college. I needed a job.
I love accents - I wish I could find an accent for every one of my characters. It makes it so much easier when I don't have to hear my own voice.
Anyone who falls in love is a freak. Its like a socially acceptable form of insanity.
I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.
Moving out to L.A. for me was a leap of faith. I was very secure in my dinner theater world; I loved it, and I was just like, 'I think there's something else out there for me and I just have to go for it.'
Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity.
You're nothing to me until you're everything
I like Cinderella - she has a good work ethic and she likes shoes.
It's always challenging when you're shooting a film. Shooting things out of order and keeping continuity on all levels is always for me the most challenging thing.
