I'm a perfectionist. I need to be needed. I need to do things for a man. But I don't need to do them as much, these days.

Your voice is your tool and represents you. It's very important to have a good voice where you can be understood.

To be used in a part without depth is a frustrating feeling, when you know you have something to give.

I don't come in with any preconceived ideas, and although I will have done some preparation, I can go which way the director wants.

I work very hard at relationships. I've done the thing of being home. I worked all day and came home and did all the stuff at home that a woman is supposed to do, the cooking and the entertaining. I'm a perfectionist, and, besides, I loved all those things.

I wanted to go to acting school, and I did a few modeling jobs to pay for acting school. I never aspired to be a model. I met lots of photographers, and I learned a lot about light - as a source of love and illumination, light as a gift of love. On film, that's a massive contribution.

The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn and in terms of acting, there's a lot to learn. The bigger culture you have in life, the better actor you'll be. You'll have more to pull on.
