'Forensic Files' is big in our house.
When you're portraying someone, whether they're real or fictional, you have to find some kind of hook where it feels real to you because if you don't believe it yourself, then no one else is going to believe it.
You can run into people, and they can be someone you thought you were never going to hear from again or never gonna talk to again, and they end up becoming dear friends.
When I was very small, I was obsessed with 'Sybil' and Sally Field's performance in 'Sybil.' I was like, 'Oh, my God, I want to do that!'
Just as an audience member, I've always preferred dark things and very heavy, emotional things.
I was a real weird kid.
Obviously, just on a visual level, as an actor, when you put on wardrobe and you look in the mirror, you're like, 'Oh, my God. This is great.' It instantly changes your posture and how you feel, and it does affect the performance as well.
A lot of the time with jobs that I've booked, immediately I'll read the breakdown, or I'll read the script, and I'm like, 'Oh I'd love to do this, but I'm completely wrong for it,' and they tend to be the jobs that I book.
For a lot of people, and I'm one of them, where you are and who you're spending your time with greatly impacts your accent.
Because I'm quite small and young looking, anyway, I tend to play younger than I am.
I initially was very drawn to playing a split personality. I've always wanted to do that kind of role.
I've never really had that whole 'starstruck' part to me.
I'm open to anything, really. I love work.
If I hadn't become an actress, I would be a dancer.
It's a big responsibility, I think, when you play somebody who has existed but also somebody who has just recently passed away.
I've always been a fan of investigation shows.
As an actor, those kinds of really intense, emotionally packed, dark things, those always very appeal to me greatly.
When it's a good director, you can feel when they trust you when they cast you.
It's a tad embarrassing, but there's this show called 'The Dead Files' on the Travel Channel, and I'm completely obsessed with it!
I always loved playing extreme opposites, whether it's internal or external.
