Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.

I'm very patient and always willing to try things but I have some resistance as well because I have my own vision. I have resistance sometimes because I see a director who's freaking out and wants to have control and they sometimes anticipate about what I'm going to be doing or not.

For me, acting goes to a special place; it's almost mystical. You have to let go of what you think is good; it's a jump into trust, and trying to reach without wanting too much.

Acting is like peeling an onion. You have to peel away each layer to reveal another.

But, you know, when I choose a film I need to believe in it and believe I can do something special with it, and after a while that means not trying to judge or analyze why I should do it. You have to follow this intuition thing, which is a mystery to me.

I would say I'm humanly engaged.

I think I am pretty much melancholic.
