I prefer film. I think it moves slower, it gives you a chance to kind of get a feel for things. Sometimes TV moves so fast that you don't even remember what you've done.

As a painfully shy kid, my fun time was locking myself away and watching movie after movie after movie. Watching a good performance, to me, was like getting a new toy.
It's just not interesting to play happy people.
If you don't look after yourself, no one else will.
I was always obsessed with crime, crime shows, anything to do with unsolved cold cases.
I always loved playing extreme opposites, whether it's internal or external.
When it's a good director, you can feel when they trust you when they cast you.
As an actor, those kinds of really intense, emotionally packed, dark things, those always very appeal to me greatly.
I've always been a fan of investigation shows.
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.
I've never really had that whole 'starstruck' part to me.
Just as an audience member, I've always preferred dark things and very heavy, emotional things.
There was a period of time when I studied ballet a lot when I was growing up.
Bullying has been around since humans have been around, I think. I think it is wrong.
I can sing if I have to.
When I'm working, especially when the role is very intense or very demanding, I actually tend to relax just innately afterwards because work relaxes me more than anything.
Because I'm quite small and young looking, anyway, I tend to play younger than I am.
I was a real weird kid.
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.
It's a big responsibility, I think, when you play somebody who has existed but also somebody who has just recently passed away.
I'm open to anything, really. I love work.
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.
I always enjoy fight scenes and being grubby and bloody and not having to look good. I prefer that very much, as odd as that sounds.
I initially was very drawn to playing a split personality. I've always wanted to do that kind of role.
I used to lock myself in my room and memorize scenes from films and reenact them when I was alone.
I was born in L.A.
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.
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!
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.
'Forensic Files' is big in our house.
If I hadn't become an actress, I would be a dancer.
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!'
