Biografía

Her grandmother told her to become a funeral director, because she thought acting was very unpredictable, and funeral director would be a practical profession. As a result, she became an actress who played member of family who have funeral business on "Six Feet Under".

Classically trained opera singer

When she was a kid, she sang at weddings and funerals.

Was author Audrey Niffenegger's personal choice for the role of Clare Anne Abshire in the adaptation of her novel Te amaré por siempre (2009). However, Niffberger was not involved with the production and Rachel McAdams was cast instead.

Moved to New York because she wanted more theater in her life. She quickly got a part in the successful play "Exit the King" opposite Susan Sarandon and Geoffrey Rush.

Being an actress is similar to trying to fit in with the popular kids in high school. You're expected to drive the right car, wear the right clothes and say the right things.

Yeah, I've always sung, and I always try to find a way for music to be in my life.

I think I need a little break. I've got a two-year old. I'll be part of The Leisure Class for a while.

I saw 'Food, Inc.' last night - it was like a horror movie. I'm definitely thinking about my food supply now and how I want to grow my own.

I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star.
