I should probably never describe myself as adorable.
I am too tall [to dance]. Tall people don’t dance. It’s just not right.
I never get to wear a suit in my life, much less a tuxedo. It's kind of really fun to get to dress up, because you take yourself a little more seriously if you dress nice in a starched shirt.
Not even my excellent training at Juilliard prepared me for my first movie role, where I played a transsexual who falls in love with a military guy in 'Soldier's Girl.
I'd forgotten it's an important thing to give thought to your morality and how you intend to live your life.
I love that you work out relationships with people as you're filming just to get something real to play on screen.
I tried surfing once in Brazil, but I'm kind of clumsy.
I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had dogs. We always had a bunch of dogs, actually.
I don't really get recognized.
It's the writers' job to make it positive. It's my job to make it real.
A month before graduation I got an off-Broadway job. Then I did some commercials, including one for MCI. You can only see half of me, but it paid well. Thank God for commercials.
I dream about having a house by the water and not doing anything, not feeling ambitious, nor having the need to make money.
I find that the best way into things is to open my heart up to it and allow it to be as truthful and honest as I can be, and I can make it. It's hard to do that; it's hard to open yourself up to something.
I picked up reading late because I grew up dyslexic. When I went to college, a friend who was a big reader got me started on a number of writers, including Hemingway.
