1. What has been your favorite role to date?
I loved All Good Things, a great short film i was in and was in the Tribecca Film Festival.
2. What do you do to prepare for a role?
It really depends on the role; I have a great time preparing for all of them. In Asylum I loved learning stage combat, and in All Good Things i really enjoyed having to lose it a little and be vulnerable. Also I have had a lot of fun working with the Groundlings as far as any comedic roles that come my way!
3. Any techniques to remember lines?
I am a lucky girl when it comes to that! It is not a problem to memorize, but to me and i think to most actors the main idea is to listen.
4. What do you think of the paparazzi and the celebrity bloggers and the tabloids?
In a way it is definitely part of the job, however you always have to protect your privacy whether you are an actor, an athlete, a lawyer or anything, Sometimes it is to be expected and sometimes it goes too far, it is a fine line anyone in the public eye has to walk.
5. What do you think the actors strike that may happen will do your career and the industry and general?
There are always strikes, you just have to keep working and paying attention to this business sometimes it is tough, strike or no strike. You just have to keep your head on your shoulders.
6. Are you happy how things have turned out for your career so far?
So far I am happy, but i am always looking forward to more.
