Giving feels good. It is a form of healing. Not just for you as an individual, but for everyone.

My role models are Bettie Page and Mia Kirshner. Every day when Mia comes to work she raises the bar for us all.

When you have to play a character that seems to be a relatively decent person and seems to be like yourself, I think the trick in that kind of character, so that you don't become a cliche, is to find where their weaknesses are.

I've had some of the best craft services on independent movies, actually, because they get more creative, generally, with a smaller budget. The work is still the same. I didn't really notice the difference other than I was getting dressed behind a curtain, basically.
