I tend to gravitate toward the more powerful roles. As opposed to the doe-eyed girl who bats her eyelashes and runs around in towels, you now what I mean? Because that kind of makes me want to vomit.

I've always been fascinated with the idea of people paying for sex and what goes on with that and why that happens.

I am forever grateful that I got some training in the theater - it reduces performance anxiety.

It's not my job to critique the writing. I'm there to serve it. I had to figure out a way to make it work.
