I feel like some of the best talent is on TV right now, with the writing, acting and great directors. I've also been looking for the consistency of work that TV provides for you. And, I always thought it would be really interesting to live with a character for months, if not years.
I think it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it.
I don't think I like characters who are afraid and ashamed of who they are.
Working in television it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it. You have more time, more room, an ability to reflect on your performance and the character and how much has really been shown, and what you'd like to see. It's nice. You have more breathing room.
Well, it's difficult to fall in love with a character when you just read the pilot. You don't really know who the character is.
I liked the idea that this character is sort of like a fairy tale, a princess-y character, very one-sided, no emotional depth,
I think I'm better at playing difficult than I am at being normal.
Nobody's kissing my ass, unfortunately. I could use a little. But then again, my personality isn't conducive to butt-kissing.
I'm always in bed by 11 or 12 and people laugh all the time - they want me to hang out until two in the morning, but n-n-no, I need my nine hours.
I hate sitting around and talking about the emotional background of a character. She is a storybook character, she's not real. That means you have so much more freedom, in that you don't have to make anything she does believable or make people believe her choices in the story.
W called me 'the young Delta Burke.' It's so silly. I weigh 105 pounds and wear a size two, but for some reason I'm a heavyweight.
I could easily exist on less money, but I like the way I live now.
Everything, I think, about acting is based on imagination.
Now my body is really womanly - a little too much so. It's something I can fall back on. When I don't know what else to do, I stick my chest out.
