'The Diary of Anne Frank' gets pretty dark toward the end. But there are some comic moments in the early part of the play. Anne was a goofball at times.
People in the U.S. are more reserved, whereas in Naples they'll hit each other and then kiss each other a second after.
Acting with a green screen has been physically challenging. I look at the green screen and then I'll look somewhere else and everything looks red. It's a bizarre thing where green has an effect on my vision, but it's fun.
I'm constantly trying to figure out my life and what's next. I'm never satisfied with what I have.
We're not religious, but we've always done Passover and Hanukkah.
I get cast a lot as the best friend or the assistant.
Wikipedia is wrong! I was born in Los Angeles, not New York, but my parents and I would come here a lot, so I feel like a New Yorker.
My mother is Jewish. We celebrated all the Jewish holidays at home.
'BUMP' deals with all the joys and trauma that comes with a woman's changing body and the struggles of going through labor. It's a beautiful ensemble cast of wonderful people, and I get emotional just being part of the process.
I like consignment stores.
It's an amazing role for any actor, so deep and challenging. And Anne Frank was such an amazing person, I feel honored to portray her.
I used to wear bandanas around my head and beaded necklaces that I had made myself. This was my 'cool' outfit that I was convinced would bring me attention.
It's fun to play the female lead of anything.
A lot of times you'll go into a doctor's office and want a kind, non-clinical approach from the physician. Doesn't usually happen.
On Gates Avenue, there's an amazing Italian restaurant: Locanda Vini e Olii. It's in an old pharmacy - the front of it still has the pharmacy's name on it - and they have all these little tchotchkes and knickknacks and things behind glass. Whenever my parents come to Brooklyn, I take them there.
I love walking down Clinton Hill's Greene Avenue. It's very neighborhoody.
I come from a long line of shorties.
I think a first date is kind of like an interview. If I feel like we have chemistry, I will divulge more of myself to them.
It's always cool to work with someone you know.
I wanted to try acting and did it in high school and through college.
