I really enjoy a variety of different work, and what I've just done may sometimes determine what I choose to do next.

I'll generally write out every scene that's in the film on a couple of pieces of paper, just with a little one-line. And then I can scan it a bit and go, 'This first third of the film, generally, I'm kind of calm.' Then I might do something on one piece of paper that just relates to the energy of the character.

The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.

I think when people are repressing things, or burying things, that can manifest in all sorts of ways.

I am geared towards communicating on a female level.

I don't want to make a habit of just playing small roles, because I really enjoy the process of being part of a film and staying on it for the length of time that everybody else is as well.

If something doesn't come out of your mouth right, you've got to acknowledge the fact that you're trying to deliver an honest performance. If it doesn't' come out of your mouth correctly, then it's not going to work.
