On what she wrote in her high school yearbook: "You were supposed
to say what you would be doing in 10 years, and I said, 'I will be
rich, famous, and married to a hot guy.' I guess I should have added a
few more things."
On her secret talent: "I can eat any man under the table."
On things she's bad at: "I'm probably not great at talking or
understanding emotional things. I'll totally listen. But I won't have a
lot of advice to give. I'm bad at calling to check in, the long
conversation. But in the ways that really matter, I'm there. I would
donate a kidney. The people they hate, I hate."
On her favorite singers: "George Michael. Even as a 3-year-old I
could pick his voice out of a million. I liked Queen growing up because
[Freddie Mercury] could do things I couldn't do. Aerosmith, same thing.
Martina McBride hit a lot of awesome, high, long notes. I'd make myself
do them. She taught me how to sing, in a way."
On what is next for her: Portraying Maria von Trapp in a three-hour live version of
The Sound of Music,
airing this holiday season on NBC. "People are so crazy auto-tuned, and
there's so much on TV that isn't wholesome. This seemed to be the best
of all worlds."
On lengths she'll go to for good TV: "We have
The Walking Dead
nights on the tour bus. At one point in Pittsburgh we didn't get
satellite reception, so we asked the driver if he could drive us around
for an hour. I'm a fan. I'm just waiting for the offer. I could be a
zombie."
On having kids: “I don’t feel old enough to have kids. I know I am mature. But being responsible for another human?”
On her personality: “I’m not a mushy person at all.
We were never a huggy family. Or a ‘let’s talk it out’ family.
Technically I have siblings but they are quite a bit older than me – I
was the accident – so I have the only-child syndrome going on. I’m a
little more selfish, a little more independent, a little closed. I do
wish I were softer. I wish I were able to form relationships better. But
hey, I mean…I’m not a sociopath.”
On being awkward: “My husband calls me the queen of awkward moments. Anything that can be made awkward, I will make it awkward.”
