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

There's certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be.

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

I've lived in New York for a really long time.

When someone holds a knife to your throat it's easy to be scared. It's not hard to imagine what it would be like.

I keep pushing buttons and trying to grow as a person and as a filmmaker.

When somebody walks into a room they give off a certain kind of vibe or whatever and at that point that's how you're going to cast them.
