I think my mom is the inspiration of me wanting to do film and TV and be an actor because she loved film so much. She loved, like, horror films and action films, so growing up, she loved watching all the Charles Bronson films and all the westerns.

My mum raised us on classic movies and a lot of musical theatre.

I'm just a normal girl. People have these preconceived notions about what movie stars are about and how we've grown up. My mother is pretty regular and raised us just like anyone else.

I loved theater growing up, and my mom always took us to the touring productions that would come through town. We would go to Chicago all the time and see shows. I loved it.

I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'

Every film that I have done has a special place in my heart.

I loved movies ever since I was a kid.

I was never that kid who grew up in New York and was always at the arthouse watching important films. I was the kid who grew up in the Midwest where there weren't any art films, and I watched TV. And that was really the medium that affected me and that I fell in love with.

I loved movies, growing up. They brought me so much joy.

One aspect of my mum's personality that has influenced me is her love of Hollywood and the golden era of black-and-white films.
