I hadn't really even been thinking about TV. To me, it seemed like such a commitment, almost like a marriage.

On an independent film, you really learn about pace. You have so little time to do things, that you really have to know your scenes.

I find standard American the hardest. It really fits in a different place in your mouth. Southern, I find the easiest. If you talk to a dialect coach and you get sort of technical, where an English person keeps their voice in their throat, a Southern person does the same, and it's got the same sort of music to talking.

You don't always have to look in the distance for what's going on over there, when you actually see what's right in front of you.

It's important to not be naive about this world and know that it's not necessarily a good place to be.

It's all about the director for me; we have to click. It's a trust thing. I'll say I'm ready to let down my walls. I'll cry for you as long as you need. But you're going to have to hug me afterwards.

You know, I do projects that I really care about. I hope I'll stand by that until the day I die!
