I have to say I've been lucky in that way in that I've been able to go from different films and different genres with different challenges.
I find that it's the simple things that remind you of family around the holidays.
I do love shoes that make my legs longer. I have the upper body of someone who's 5ft 8in, so high heels help me even out the discrepancy.
As an actress people always tease me like: if there's anything you can do to make yourself unattractive you will do it.
I was a huge Ann-Margret fan, and I wanted to be like her.
I'm pretty Sicilian if I've been crossed. I don't seek revenge, but I never forget. And I make it hard to repair, which is not a great quality because if people held me to that standard, no one would be around me - ever.
I'd love to be a diva. But I'd then have to send so many apology notes for my abhorrent behaviour.
I'm lucky enough to get really interesting and diverse roles offered to me, and I just hope that that continues. I just want to keep expanding as an artist and really try new things.
I'm just grateful I didn't have to spend my early 20s in front of paparazzi cameras.
I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.
I saw some musicals at dinner theaters where I grew up. But I didn't go to a big theater to see one until probably after I graduated from high school when I took myself to see 'Tommy' when it was on tour. I absolutely loved it.
I've always been really comfortable around athletics, I've just never been comfortable playing anything.
I grew up as a Mormon, and that had more of an impact on my values than my beliefs. I'm afraid I will always feel the weight of a lie. I'm very hard on myself anyway. Religious guilt carries over too. You can't really misbehave without feeling badly about it. At least, I can't.
That's how I prepare for anything - I read whatever I can get my hands on, talk to people. I'm a bit of a nerd like that.
