Iโm a pretty gentle person so I donโt really have much of a thing of being a badass.
Not even my excellent training at Juilliard prepared me for my first movie role, where I played a transsexual who falls in love with a military guy in 'Soldier's Girl.
I was that 'awkward-didn't-understand-his body-kind of-uncomfortable teen.'
I tried surfing once in Brazil, but I'm kind of clumsy.
It's the writers' job to make it positive. It's my job to make it real.
I never get to wear a suit in my life, much less a tuxedo. It's kind of really fun to get to dress up, because you take yourself a little more seriously if you dress nice in a starched shirt.
