Theater makes working in movies or TV seem like a cake-walk.

I really like Shakespeare a lot. The characters that he writes for females, I think, are really great and a lot more compelling than what modern writers write, which is weird because they didn't have actresses then.

In my early career, I look at that time as a series of trial and error and learning as I go.

So I am happy to have fans, especially if it enables me to keep working. And I am really grateful when people respond to my work.

I took the role of Ophelia in Hamlet because she is so naive, loving, and innocent.

I remember seeing Janet McTeer in A Doll's House. My grandmother took me and we had seats in the very back row, but her performance was so powerful - it was very accessible. I felt like I was much closer than I was.

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.
