I think seeing some of the past can be helpful, especially if you're into crime solving.

I am so happy to be on a show with writing I wanted to participate in.

I can be extremely vulnerable. People are tough on me because they think I can handle it.

I've always played strong women who are doing their own thing.

Once you get into a part, and someone sees you, you get asked to do it again.

I love old movies. The '40s theatre pace is fantastic.

I had to skydive for the movie and I was terrified. Like everybody, I thought it was going to be one of those experiences that changes your life. It didn't.

I'm the oldest 26-year-old I know. A lot of experience has been crammed into a short amount of time. Some days I feel a good 65, 70. Like I want to lie down.

Don't we all just really try to fake it well?

My mother's side of the family was in the production side of theatre. My grandfather, Jose Vega, was a general manager for Neil Simon shows on Broadway.

I pretty much make time for that weekly manicure.

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.
