I loved getting to investigate the grey areas of morality.
A lot of people would wear anger, depression or aggravation as their first layer, and they don't. They very much understand what's really important in life.
Never get your girlfriend a pet that she didn't know she was getting.
It wasn't my intention in going after this part but I suppose now I do. The adult roles are a lot meatier - you're not always just the daughter or the girlfriend or whatever.
I like René Descartes' theory about a ball of wax. You can change its form from solid to liquid, but it's still the same ball of wax. With acting, you are the same person in a different form. You can only be what you know, and you only truly know yourself.
I try to keep myself as sane and as grounded as possible by surrounding myself with normal people, such as all the friends that I've had from when I was little.
I had classical training but I don't consider myself an opera singer though.
Hey @giseleofficial, I feel ya girl. #kidding #fakebaby #soymilk #shameless.
Men only need two things - grilled cheese and sex.
She's lonely and wounded and very vulnerable and it really is a story about people at the heart of it all.
I started singing at the Met when I was seven, and the competition was so fierce that it really prepared me.
It is very grand and sumptuous and awesome to look at but it was really about the characters for me.
I'm a very rational person but I pray every day.
I've never had siblings, I didn't grow up in a big family; it was just me and my single mom. And hectic family dysfunction was actually something that I craved.
I've learned to take jobs as an actress that is meaningful to me because I've never taken a job for the money.
It's the best feeling when you wake up and it's warm and cozy, and you don't have to go to work.
I hope that I'm sexy in a different kind of way than I think that a lot of girls are right now. I think a lot of girls in the public eye, especially musical artists, are just kind of objectified a little bit and wearing super-skimpy outfits and leaving nothing to the imagination.
I think I kind of came out of the womb singing. I think I was, like, born at the hospital, and, you know, popped out, and was singing. ... I'm not sure really how it happened. I can't remember a time when I wasn't singing, or banging a beat on the dinner table...
Too many times you come across lyrics that sound like you've heard them before or you can't really relate to them. And I think that I write songs that sound fresh and sensual in kind of a layered, lush way. But I also think that they are real, and that's why I wanted to call the record 'Inside Out.'
