The only thing that matters is the theater!
I know it's such a boring interview sometimes with us at 'American Horror Story', but I just can't say a word. I would certainly love to be back, that's for sure. It's such a great job.
It's sort of scary to work with your parents when you're in the same business. But there was something so very safe about that. Acting with her was just like working with a wonderful actress who just happens to be my best friend and also my mother.
So, for the most part, I really like when I read a scene that scares me and makes me sweat a little bit, thinking about doing it. That's usually a good sign to me.
Mark Conseulos is so amazing.
For a long time I was cautious of working with my parents because I wanted to feel separate from them in the community. Now there's no more wasting time.
I can't actually think of a job where I was relaxed the whole time. I don't think I would want to do that job. When I break into a cold sweat when I'm reading, I think, 'Oh good. That's what's supposed to be happening.
I had never done a 90-minute play with no intermission, so it is a bit like you get onto the train and you don't get off until it's over - and it's over very quickly, so don't miss a moment of it. That experience is very rare and specific so don't miss a minute, because there aren't very many minutes of it.
When I was teeny tiny, I definitely had a voice that didn't quite match the way I looked at five.
All I really want to do is someday be in a western. If I could be on a horse with a rifle, I would be a really happy camper.
I will say that I've been lucky enough never to have to do a job I didn't want to do, or a play I wasn't in love with.
No, I'm not feminist. I'm not, not a feminist.
