If something boils up under stress later, I remind myself to breathe and focus back to how I decided my day was going to go. It's simple but it works.

It's important for me to play women who can overcome adversity, make change, and take control of their lives. I think it's a great time for women in TV and film in general, and I want to help tell these stories.

I was really active as a kid. I was outdoors constantly.

That lifestyle wears you down fast, so I started to take better care of myself. I exercise, sleep eight hours a night, take vitamins, eat organic foods, skip foods that aren't good for me, and I surround myself with amazing artists and friends.

I find that if I use my time well and take care of my mind/body when I'm outside of work, then I feel more supported throughout my day.

I enjoy doing fun things outdoors with my son to stay in shape. We like camping together. After a weekend in the woods, I'm sorer than after a week at the gym!
