A lot of times, when you're acting, you have to explain things to the audience, and it's boring work to do that. It's really hard to make that interesting. I like the discovery of characters. I think people are smart. Audiences are intelligent and can figure things out by just watching behaviors.

I loved dancing as a young girl.

A man who opens a door for a woman or gives up his seat for her-even offering to carry something! Those are country manners that never go out of style.

My life in Montana is so diverse from my Hollywood life that it even feels odd for me to go from one life to the other.

My favourite thing is to be somebody else, no longer be me.
