Christina Moore

Christina: (advice to aspiring actors) Oh boy. Go to college. If I was talking to a younger person, I think go to college. You learn how to learn and there is so much about this industry that [is] tried and true -- you have to have an agent or be a member of SAG -- but then there is so much problem-solving and so many ways of doing things that you need to be educated to figure out. It's not what I learned in college about the art of acting; it was how much I learned how to learn. I learned how to figure things out. And it gave me confidence.

Christina: I am the kind of person who ends up telling anyone everything they want to know about anything. I'm not good at keeping secrets about myself, but I do love the macabre. I love the idea that people are weird and people have things that go on in their lives that nobody else knows about.

Christina: (about her biggest challenge with playing a nurse on "Hawthorne") Using the equipment without looking like an idiot. We have nurses on set and they're always saying that actors give themselves away when they stop working to have a conversation. As a nurse you have to take a pulse, check blood pressure, talk to the patient, read off their chart and diagnose all at the same time.
