I'm not afraid to play my age. I never was. I've never been an ingenue. I like getting older.
Maria BelloI don't really have a method or a technical process. I studied [Sanford] Meisner, and that's the thing that really works for me. That sort of instinctual, in the moment, what the other actors do, working off them and letting the story unfold, as opposed to having an idea of what the story should be.
Maria BelloPeople are kinda still a bit puritanical, perhaps. People don't expect a woman to feel so open, in a way, about her sexuality onscreen, and they probably find it fascinating. I think more actors are doing it and being open to that and not being afraid of it, so it's becoming less of a thing.
Maria BelloI just want to use all of myself, for the rest of my life, in every facet of my life, as long as I live.
