embarrassing
I watch so much television, it's embarrassing.
applause hit people positively
When I was 3, I recited a poem at a festival in Passaic, New Jersey. The applause was tremendous, and it hit me that I could affect people positively by performing.
fascinated love pass physically
Film is new for me so I'm so fascinated by it and love it, but I would pass out if I could never do theater again. I'd be physically ill!
singing opera singers
I got last-minute rush seats to Baz Luhrmann's 'Boheme,' and my favorite singer, Ekaterina Solovyeva, was playing Mimi that day. My face got burned off when she sang the aria 'Donde Lieta Usci.' The woman was technically sobbing and singing opera at the same time. I don't know how you do that.
mistake hate moving
I would feel ill without theater. It's kind of a cliche, but every time you make a mistake, you really do have to learn from it to move on. When you're doing something live, there's no time to dwell. Hopefully you'll laugh it off, but if not, you can always take a day to hate yourself.
dream school training
When I was 13, I moved from New Jersey to Germany with my family. The high school was so supportive of my dream to continue with my theater training; instead of taking PE, I would get credit for dance lessons.
sleep bad-day scripts
If I'm having a bad day in rehearsal, I'll sleep with my script.
trying purses demon
I try not to put my purse on the floor - demons will get into it.
steam abbey
I let steam off by watching 'Downton Abbey.
parks watches something-new
I see something new in 'Gosford Park' every time I watch it.
