Really rejoice in being yourself. Have your own drumbeat.

When you're filming, you work 19-hour days and you know more about what's going on with your crew and co-workers than you do with your husband. You're away, you miss things. It's taxing. Relationships fail because of it.

My curiosity and my appetite for evolving as an actor is one of the main components of me still working today in the business.

I haven't played a lot of wallflowers but I have played women who have been vulnerable.

There's a positive side to film and television, the sense of feeding into the theater... Your fans will follow you, hopefully, and be open-minded to see you play other things and experience other stories you want to tell.

I exercise as much as I can. If I don't exercise, I feel sluggish. i try to do 30 minutes a day.

I like my life. It's good.
