"I get here at 7:20pm and do my hair at 7:30pm. After I go downstairs, I chat with Nathaniel--he does my hair, the braids. Oh God. It takes forever. But we talk. I read. I have all these Gossip Girl and The Clique novels because I like light reading before the show."

"I try to do fun things before the show. I don't really get into character. My character is so much like me--I just be myself. When we're hanging backstage at the curtain, before the show starts, we all just chat, laugh, talk about things. I'm always smiling before I go onstage which helps with my energy and I just have a fun time."
