First acting gig was playing a victim in 'America's Most Wanted.' The night the show aired, they caught the killer!
I studied directing prior to acting and I've done music videos and documentaries and things that were sort of well-received.
I was in musical theater when I first started, so there was always both acting and singing. But as far as getting a record deal, that took time. The majority of that time, I was acting.
I'm too busy acting like I'm not Naive. I've seen it all, I was here first.
I gravitated to acting out of a mixture of instinct, naivete and opportunity.
I think for comedians, acting is their natural progression. It's all about progression.
I've been performing since I came out of the womb. I've been dancing and singing since I was a toddler. Acting seemed like a natural progression from that.
Acting has been my first passion, and turning a producer was a natural progression.
I want to be in a more natural state while doing acting.
I love acting, especially if it's a fantasy of some kind, where it's not just realistic, it's not naturalism.
I'm one of a generation brought up on television whose acting is more 'naturalistic', whereas with some of the older generation it's more heightened. But I think there's room for both styles.
I'm acting in a new show on NBC with Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, which is definitely the scariest thing I've ever done.
I'm less needy about needing to express myself through acting. I have many different lives outside of this that are extremely fulfilling.
I've always been, with acting, very hesitant to get myself into situations where I would be accused of nepotism.
I had always been the theater nerd at Northwestern University. I knew I wanted to do acting, but I hated the idea of being this cliche - a girl from L.A. who decides to be an actress.
You start acting in spite of your neuroses, not because of them.
I didn't learn anything about acting until I joined the Group Theatre. They taught me an entirely new approach, an entirely new technique.
Once the second season of 'Haven' rolled around, I really started to attack this acting thing and finally admitted, 'OK, I'm an actor now. This is what I'm doing. This is my new career.'
I learn a new thing every single day about acting, about directing, about producing.
Unfortunately, there aren't enough interesting acting roles in New Zealand to sustain a career.
