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. Nina Arianda Read Quote
Before I left for Germany, I had gotten accepted to the performing arts high school in New York, which was a big dream of mine. And having to leave that was very sad for me. Nina Arianda Read Quote
When I was a kid, my daily routine was playing make-believe, and I kind of created these stories throughout the day.

I would feel ill without theater. It’s kind of a cliche, but every time you make a mistake, you really do have to learn from it to move on. When you’re doing something live, there’s no time to dwell. Hopefully you’ll laugh it off, but if not, you can always take a day to hate yourself. Nina Arianda Read Quote
Film is new for me so I’m so fascinated by it and love it, but I would pass out if I could never do theater again. I’d be physically ill! Nina Arianda Read Quote
I’m mildly obsessed with skin care. I do a lot of masks at home, like Elisha Coy’s Korean Collagen masks. I also use an embarrassingly wide variety of facial creams. Nina Arianda Read Quote
