You breathe fast when you're scared.

I'm proud to be Irish.

My degree was in opera.

I grew up on a farm.

I loved to sing and I loved to act, and I didn't want to continue opera because I wanted to act.

I’ve been singing since I was nine or ten.

I try to do different roles and try to immerse myself deeply and see what they need to be that’s different than the last one.

By no means, I can’t sing any rock and roll.

I want to work, but I certainly am not going to be clawing at empty things when I can completely fill up my bucket with them – the other is a waste of my time.

I’m an actress. I’m not putting my life on the line for any great cause. I don’t step out too boldly about anything except my children and family.
