Nina Arianda Quotations

Now that I'm on Broadway, it's like NASA engineering with the costumes. I was very grateful for the slightly more high-tech ones in my show, 'Venus in Fur'; our costume designer Anita Yavich is kind of a genius.

I was into opera as a kid - I'd play 'Carmen' and sing and dance. My mom signed me up for a theater group before preschool, and I never looked back.

I think if you want to get to know me, you should come and see a show. A person might get to see more sides of me.

I see something new in 'Gosford Park' every time I watch it.

I let steam off by watching 'Downton Abbey.

I had a year at 3 when I wanted to be a conductor in the opera.

I can't have white roses. They symbolize death.

I try not to put my purse on the floor - demons will get into it.

I never approach a character from a negative place.

I love all things Queen - their songs are epic storytelling.
