I hope I just continue to be passionate about the roles and to always endeavor to bring clarity and honesty to the table and different ideas.

You can't always do that which you can do in your sleep. That doesn't fulfill an artist. You're looking for places where you can grow, in some way, whether it's a large way or a small way. I want to grow as an artist, as a person and as a woman. I want to enjoy myself and my life and the company that I'm keeping. I want to bring something to the table that's different than anything else would bring, but that has its place and value, and then keep moving.

Acting is my calling, not my career.

I am content that the work that I've done is wonderful.

As an actor, you're used to putting on characters, taking them off, becoming someone else, doing your research, and working on that.

My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she'd always act out the parts I did. My aunt, who played a big part in my life, was a little bit more reserved, because if they don't see you on TV every week they think you must be starving.
