“One of my favorite classes was horror in theater and psychology.” — Annie Parisse Quote

One of my favorite classes was horror in theater and psychology.

When I first became an actress, I expected to do regional and classical theater; I just love the whole creative process.

I guess the reason that I'm a horror fan is that I think it gives people the opportunity to enjoy the feeling of being scared in a safe environment. I think that's why, for all of human history, we've been telling each other scary stories: because it exorcises something that we need to exorcise in a safe place.

I don't paint. I am a hobbyist photographer, so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.

I was a coat-checker at Orso, and all these wonderful actors were coming in, and it was exciting to me, so I started going to classes, and my excuse was, 'I'll be a better songwriter if I can understand how to play a character.' Well, that couldn't be farther from the truth.

I love to do spin classes, go for a hike, box, or do hot yoga.

I was the lead in two musicals, and I took dance classes.

I tried martial arts classes for three weeks, but I quit because you actually get hit. I just want to do the movie kind of martial arts.

I would like to learn so many things: I'd like to take tennis classes, I'd like continuing vocal lessons, and I'd definitely like taking more ice skating and more tap.
