If you take every challenge everyone has in their life and multiply it in severity you get what it's like in the life of an actor.

There is a divine plan and there is a reason for this, and my choice is to create the most positive reaction I can.

I was born to be actress. If you're supposed to be doing this, you come in knowing it. I truly believe that. And then, of course, you have to let yourself walk the path of it. But I was just always drawn to it.

I was lucky enough to have a plethora of types of roles before and during the horror movie part of my career.

A really good horror film has a story.

I think a lot of kids get scared by 'E.T.' Sometimes when I do the science-fiction conventions, I'll have a 35-year-old guy with tatts and piercings all over, and he comes up and says, 'You know, it scared me so much I still can't watch it.

The essence of my work, and of me, is the softer side of a strong woman, and that goes into a number of different roles.
