Enjoy it while it lasts.

I enrolled in an acting workshop and my first acting role was on the TV soap opera 'Melrose Place.'

Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.

I felt different born into a family with two sisters who are blonde and blue-eyed, with me being the only brunette.

I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don't sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don't. There's always a good reason for doing something.

I seem to have been cast several several times to do it. I think in this one, Phoenix is not purely evil. She was in the comic books at some point but the way the writers created her or we always talked about her, was that she was torn with her powers taking over and trying to control them at the same time. It was challenging to play which made it interesting for me to play this character.

The biggest challenge is how you get money for independent films, in these ever-changing times when most people don't really want to invest in that anymore.
