"I used to dance around the house and taught myself the Annie soundtrack. I got into singing and fell in love with it."
"Sal [her character on The Moonlight Room] and I are very different, but I understood her confusion. I understood her being in love with a boy who will never wake up. Her experiences are basic and relatable, but at the same time they are unique. She is awakened by everything that happens around her," Breckenridge said.
"The most difficult part psychologically was finding that insecure place inside. Even though she lets loose with Josh, at the bottom Sal is loaded with fear."
"I love going to work. Each performance lives. You can't really repeat anything that happens onstage even though you repeat the words."
"[Rose Sorelli of Related] has the guts to abandon her plans, don't think I could do it. I always like to plan and have an idea of where I'm going."
"The four girls on the show [Related] are very dynamic, individual and three-dimensional. At the same time, they don't fall into any category. They're not stereotypes."
"I think [Related] has aspects of Friends and Sex and the City, the comedy, and both of them have urban New York vibes. We have that too, so we're definitely a meshing of those two shows...or at least we like to think we are, 'cause I love those two shows."
"The Moonlight Room's kind of when I really grew as an actress. I came out with more confidence and more self-awareness than I ever had before." [on the role she's most proud of]
"Friends and Sex and the City are two of my favorite shows. I think those shows kind of made me want to do television. I come from theater, and Annie and The Nutcracker are the reasons I got into the arts."
"I was singing to candlesticks. And when I got a little older, I'd ask my mom to buy plays, and I'd act them out - that kid, you know, in my own little world."
"I think they [comedy and drama] both have their challenges, but comedy is more fun, as it can create a more relaxed environment on the set. Drama comes with a whole other set of challenges. I think it's hard to spend 16 hours on set and constantly prepare for drama."
"I love Kate Winslet and Judi Dench. I think it's really hard to cross mediums. Laura Linney's another one. She's done film, TV and theater without anyone questioning why."
"I will definitely go back [to college]. It's just a matter of when. Princeton's been there a long time. I'm majoring in classical studies, with a theater and dance certificate. I'm interested in Western literary theatrical traditions."
