When I was 13, I moved from New Jersey to Germany with my family. The high school was so supportive of my dream to continue with my theater training instead of taking PE, I would get credit for dance lessons.

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.
Nina Arianda
I had never been in a New York courtroom. I think I went on a field trip when I was nine in New Jersey, but I never actually set foot as an adult and it was terrifying. It's very sterile, somehow. It seems so grand in the movies and it's so sterile when you're actually there.
Nina Arianda
What makes an actor, I think, is a combination of a deep curiosity about life and a case of the crazies.
Nina Arianda
I get really into shows, but then I have my brain shut off time.
Nina Arianda
I watch so much television, it's embarrassing.
Nina Arianda
Every audition is different, but I get incredibly nervous and insecure and worked up for however long I have to prep - that's when I get to spin. But you're not allowed to spin once you enter the room. Doubt really can't enter the room when you're auditioning - unless it's part of the character.

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.
Nina Arianda
If you love job, then you have to know how to let it go. If you have a bad audition, I think you're allowed 30 minutes of pain, maybe a day if it's really that bad. But to allow a whole week? No. That would be contradictory to the process, I think.
Nina Arianda
I was a hostess, I sold shoes, but I don't function well in jobs that don't have to do with what I love. I have cleaned bathrooms in theaters, I have sold wine in theaters, I have sold tickets, because I will do anything, anything, to stay in this world.
Nina Arianda
I get emotionally involved with things I should not be.
Nina Arianda
My favorite place to vacation is anyplace by the ocean.
Nina Arianda
I think the way that I delivered my request for acting was undeniable, and I think that I was blessed enough to have parents who saw it as something that there was no argument about. For that, I will always be grateful.

I got last-minute rush seats to Baz Luhrmann's 'Boheme,' and my favorite singer, Ekaterina Solovyeva, was playing Mimi that day. My face got burned off when she sang the aria 'Donde Lieta Usci.' The woman was technically sobbing and singing opera at the same time. I don't know how you do that.
Nina Arianda
I try not to put my purse on the floor - demons will get into it.
Nina Arianda
You leave part of yourself on every stage you're on. How could you not live in the air somehow?
Nina Arianda
Michael Pitt is amazing. His physical comedy is extraordinary he's so committed and so willing to play within the scenes. It makes you feel very free to also explore.

If I'm having a bad day in rehearsal, I'll sleep with my script.
