I've always been drawn to stories and telling them; whether it was through being a part of theater when I was a little kid, or film, or with music, there's just been an innate desire to feel that connection.
Ellen PageIām a huge fan of the program Democracy Now, which is hosted by Amy Goodman, and I subscribe to the podcast.
Ellen PageI've never done a movie in that genre, and I love a lot of those movies. I watched the director's [David Freyne] short film [The First Wave], which I loved. And the script was just so good. He's found this way to tell a new story.
Ellen PageThere are a lot of things I love about acting and one of the things I love the most is, here you are taking words off a page, working with someone you might have met just a week before, and somehow you're creating a moment that separates itself from space and time. You feel an incredible rush when you have that moment with another actor. You can feel it bounce off one another. Every take you do can reveal different things that were hiding. And things outside the story get revealed to you, too. It's an incredible way to work and to experience a story.
