reading dark musical
I've been reading scripts where they've been doing a lot of singing now, but within the dark, realistic story line. I would love, love, love, love to do that. But not a musical on Broadway, I don't have that kind of energy or stamina.
actors want
As an actor you want to just like, act as much as possible.
nice home busy
It's nice when you get to leave and travel and be busy and then come home.
careers roles
I'm not at the place in my career necessarily where I'm like offered every role.
love-is people particular
I love being on movie sets. It's a very particular setting. And not all of the time, most of the time, there's always people you don't like, and you have to see them every day.
tv-shows tvs kind
You get a kind of familiarity on a set when you're on a TV show.
couple focus acting
Acting is a very strange industry in that it flows in these weird ways, I'll be so busy for 6 months and then nothing for a couple months, so it's hard for me to focus and stuff.
physically
I think for a girl to be strong, it doesn't have to involve being physically strong.
kids popular
If you want to do something, then you do it. If you don't want to do something, don't just do it because your friends are doing it, or because all the popular kids are doing it.
dependency work
As an actress, you never know when you're going to work again - and there's so much dependency on working.
commenting drawn happening roles
I guess I've always been drawn to roles that have smart characters commenting on what's happening around them.
network
In my opinion FOX is known for being a network that just advertises, and that's pretty much how they get their viewers.
great
It would be great to do theater one day, but I don't think I'd do a musical.
showing
With independent film, as an actor, you have more involvement - it's very much more connected. It's not just like I'm showing up and there's another actor on the call sheet; you're very attached to it.
