Acting is being susceptible to what is around you, and it's letting it all come in. Acting is a clearing away of everything except what you want and need - and it's wonderful in that way. And when it's right, you're lost in the moment.

You just have to keep on doing what you do. It's the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.

Anyone who wants to achieve something, needs a lot of work.

The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed.
