As an actress, I'm an emotional person.

To play Cleopatra on Broadway would just be incredible.

Because I had grown up with Jane Austen novels and period dramas, I was very familiar with that period and that world.

I try to define myself through my own choices rather than just accepting society's kind of you're that, you're that, let me put you in a box kind of thing.

I think all characters that we play are facets of ourselves.

For me, it was all about working with an inspirational filmmaker.

Different fragrances promote different emotions, and I find that fragrance gets me in the frame of mind for that person.
