It is an embarrassing time to be an American. It really is. It's humiliating.

Digital doesn't interest me. It's too many steps removed from the actual tactile thing. I still read books. I don't read online.

I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.

To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.

TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary; with independent films, you just can't.

What I love about photography, and it's the same thing I love about acting, really, is that it forces you, like, right into the moment, where you can't be distracted, where you can't be, like, thinking about other things or ahead of yourself or behind yourself.

One of the things I love about acting is that it reveals a certain something about yourself, but it doesn't reveal your own personal story.
