I am really not of the school of naturalism. I like style, and you can use more style in theater than in film roles. I love to sink my teeth into a part.

You have your structure, but within it, it gets fuller and you can highlight other parts of the performance.

I really don't like when things are all polished and perfect - the perfect love story and the hair is perfect.

I feel like theatre gives me the grounding, and keeps me alive, basically. Film gives me the thrill, and it's like a one night stand. But I do enjoy being around people who love it so much.

You express different energies at different times in your life.

I prefer to express myself physically, or non-verbally. I prefer just to react without having a lot of dialogue.

All of us have read the stories about young people in Hollywood and all the challenges they have to confront there, and I think that artistically, I really didn't understand the commercial side of the film business, so I went back to a purely artistic setting.
