I'm not a natural ocean person. I married into a family of swimmers, and I've slowly been drawn into the sea.

People think that the ocean is big enough to sustain anything we throw at it - its hard to get into your head that it's actually finite.

So you have the challenge of just learning the lines, period, and not only learning them, but learning them to the extent that you assimilate them, so that you're not worried about what the next word is coming out of your mouth when it comes to doing a scene. And you're also in the trenches with the writers, just in the wonderful kind of back and forth of how is it best to say something, even if it involves four or five words. I love that kind of thing.

I've always felt that an independent film is a film that almost doesn't get made.

As an actor, I go where the good writing is. That's the bottom line.

Good roles are hard to find no matter what age.

It is very difficult for girls. They're told to look one way, but to act another way.
