I think because of my music background actually I have sort of - comedy is about time and rhythm. And I sort of naturally fell towards comedy.
So they've actually - it's not that her character is a singer, but she had ambition to do that at an earlier time in her life. So I've actually sung two or three times now on the show.
And then I think now we are - you know his - like I've always said. His spirit is so large that we feel his presence around the show, and we always will. He will always have a voice.
Now I'm both. I'm an actor and a singer.
I really like sort of disappearing.
It's sort of the mixed blessing of being on television for so long in one thing; sometimes that backfires, in that you're not able to continue on.
I made a living being a background singer for years.
My father was a director, and he used to always tell me, "You should be an actress." When I was 17, he gave me a job so that I'd be in the union.
Music is extremely intuitive, which acting too in a different way.
When they say laughter is healing, it absolutely is the truth.
Going to set was always a great release.

I like when everything's naturally moving along - I find that pretty exciting.
