You have to work with what you are given, even in Shakespeare. we have our form and it is important that we free ourselves through it.

I love films for the fact that it is like working under a microscope. It is sort of like a laboratory.

I had been working early in my life in films - since I was 11.

The loneliness is when you pick up and move, even if you are not originally from that place, and you have some memories that you want to embrace. Having a life in transit, I feel like you are always looking out the back window.

I like the theatre because you paint with broad strokes. To me the theatre is stretching its definition really far.

My first acting job happened by accident when I was really young. I was in fifth grade and my teacher saw an ad in the paper and took me to the audition after school and I got the part.

My family was very supportive of my acting. They didn't really have a choice because I got jobs acting before anyone could really say anything. It paid my way through college and helped my family out.
