I always want to learn and be challenged - and to get better as an actress.

As with anything in life, when you have certain experiences at pivotal times, they shape you.

Thankfully, the life of an actor can be quite balanced anyway. If you look over the course of a whole year, you do tend to have periods of down time. So, it's about managing the balance.

I think every job that I've done to this point has had something new to challenge me.

I really miss my family and my kids when I'm away from home.

You don't want to get pigeon-holed. So, I always get attracted to parts that are different from the previous ones I've played.

In life, you're supposed to get wiser, so as an actor, even just through your own life experiences, you're already richer as a person and have more to pull on. And this job is great for the places it takes you to, the things it makes you interested in and the skills you get to learn.
