LUCY DEVITO

I think a first date is kind of like an interview. If I feel like we have chemistry, I will divulge more of myself to them.

Acting with a green screen has been physically challenging. I look at the green screen and then I'll look somewhere else and everything looks red. It's a bizarre thing where green has an effect on my vision, but it's fun.

It's an amazing role for any actor, so deep and challenging. And Anne Frank was such an amazing person, I feel honored to portray her.

'The Diary of Anne Frank' gets pretty dark toward the end. But there are some comic moments in the early part of the play. Anne was a goofball at times.

I've felt very comfortable on stage and love making people laugh. It's that kind of addictive thing where you get a laugh and you just want more.

I used to wear bandanas around my head and beaded necklaces that I had made myself. This was my 'cool' outfit that I was convinced would bring me attention.

'BUMP' deals with all the joys and trauma that comes with a woman's changing body and the struggles of going through labor. It's a beautiful ensemble cast of wonderful people, and I get emotional just being part of the process.

My family is very excited about me doing Anne Frank.

I wanted to try acting and did it in high school and through college.

People in the U.S. are more reserved, whereas in Naples they'll hit each other and then kiss each other a second after.

I grew up on sets so I've always felt like that I wanted to be a part of the acting world.

It's always cool to work with someone you know.

It's fun to play the female lead of anything.

I have a problem getting all my laundry done, cleaning up and doing all of the normal daily things that a grownup should do.

I love walking down Clinton Hill's Greene Avenue. It's very neighborhoody.

Wikipedia is wrong! I was born in Los Angeles, not New York, but my parents and I would come here a lot, so I feel like a New Yorker.

My mother is Jewish. We celebrated all the Jewish holidays at home.

I majored in art history. But I took theater classes, and every semester I was in college productions.

I'm constantly trying to figure out my life and what's next. I'm never satisfied with what I have.

A lot of times you'll go into a doctor's office and want a kind, non-clinical approach from the physician. Doesn't usually happen.

It's wonderful to do a play that really means something.

On very base level, I'm a hot mess.

I come from a long line of shorties.

On Gates Avenue, there's an amazing Italian restaurant: Locanda Vini e Olii. It's in an old pharmacy - the front of it still has the pharmacy's name on it - and they have all these little tchotchkes and knickknacks and things behind glass. Whenever my parents come to Brooklyn, I take them there.

I like consignment stores.
