I really think about the times that I've been through with my husband and all the stuff that we've been through together, and I think to those moments for inspiration for the role.

I picked up the Joss Stone album, Josh Groban, and the new Norah Jones. I love, love, love Norah.

I bet the worst part about dying is the part where your whole life passes before you.
