For me, there is safety in playing a woman that is very sexualized and having a woman direct you with that.

What's exciting about watching a movie, when it's finished, is you sometimes you don't recognize yourself, and that's when I'm really proud.

But, I love making independent films. I love it! You create a family, and you sweat, you bleed, you cry, you shout, you laugh and you hug. It's such an extraordinary experience, making independent films.

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

I was brought up in a very open, rural countryside in the middle of nowhere. There were no cell phones. If your lights went out, you were lit by candlelight for a good four days before they can get to you. And so, my imagination was crazy.

I've been really lucky to work with a lot of really great actors, so watching the films back, it's really important to admire the people that you were working with and see their full performance.

It's better not to read your reviews. Just go and do the thing... it would drive you crazy otherwise.
