Actress

I'm a little Italian girl from New Haven who, as an actor, gets to jump classes through language.

I think that the story of a woman who is coming into her powers can really happen at any age.

I love the process of working on a play. I love rehearsal so much. New York can be so tough, but the community in the theater is so warm and glorious.

I saw 'Food, Inc.' last night - it was like a horror movie. I'm definitely thinking about my food supply now and how I want to grow my own.

That's the thing about 'Torchwood': It will pull the rug out from under you. It goes along being cute and campy and gay, and then, all of a sudden, it'll nail you.

'My Fair Lady' and Eliza Doolittle will go on long after me, and someone else will step into it for their moment. That's what's so beautiful about revivals: There have been so many interpretations, and we're just giving it what we can.

It's a miracle that any job comes together.

Being an actress is similar to trying to fit in with the popular kids in high school. You're expected to drive the right car, wear the right clothes and say the right things.

I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star.

I hope to someday be a great actress and a wonderful performer.

We played one warm-up gig at this bar that was kinda like that bar in 'The Blues Brothers' with the chicken wire. This place called The Brick House, in Housatonic. I really can't believe we're going to play for people in New York City. I'm terrified, but it's a small enough room. But it's really just supposed to be for the fun of it.

I studied classical music in high school.

I just really love having dinner parties and hanging out.

I would love to do a musical. Something old-fashioned, probably.

New York is so dry.

I really did always want to do theater.

Harry Hadden-Paton is just a lovely actor and an incredible person.

I think a woman can come into her power at any age.

I like eclecticism. To feel comfortable and not overdressed. I still like thrift store shopping, and I don't like to put a lot of effort into what I'm going to wear.
