Here we spent so much time together - eight months of our lives almost - and it was so great because we all got so close and that really made us not afraid to improve with each other.
I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.
I had classical training but I don't consider myself an opera singer though, and this is more a hybrid of pop and classical music.
I walked off the soggy set of The Day After Tomorrow and ended up in Joel Schumacher's living room for a meeting.
I was pretty shaken with nerves but I did the best I could. Actually I didn't think I would get it just because it was too big.
I went to the Musee d'Orsay and looked at Degas' paintings of ballerinas to learn how to stand like them.
If I can't find a project that I'm really interested in, I'll just go back to college where I've been studying art history and French.
It is very grand and sumptuous and awesome to look at but it was really about the characters for me.
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.
She's lonely and wounded and very vulnerable and it really is a story about people at the heart of it all.
We could just back up the scene and throw lines out there to see what happened and Joel was really encouraging of that as well.
When I talked to Joel about it I said that the one important thing for me was that she is the one real centre in all this theatricality.
You know it was funny - there were no pleasantries. I was vocalising with the accompanist and he just walked into the room and sat down in front of me and said, "Shall we?"
A kiss, when all is said, what is it? A rosy dot placed on the 'I' in loving; Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.
A large nose is in fact the sign of an affable man, good, courteous, witty, liberal, courageous, such as I am.
A pessimist is a man who tells the truth prematurely.
My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.
The dream, alone, is of interest. What is life, without a dream?
