Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.

I always collect a bunch of images for every film that I do, that reminds me of an essence of the character, or the time that they live in, or what they're experiencing.

I like to be absorbed in what my character's doing.

I've had a great experience with pretty much everybody I've worked with.

Ballet has really helped me in every acting role. You have to be very disciplined, you have to be able to control your nerves and perform under pressure, and all those things you have to use in acting when you're on film or going for an audition.

I think it's really important for actors to have another creative outlet, or for anyone, really.

To have a creative outlet that you can control is really important because you do a lot of waiting to be cast, then waiting to go into production, and then waiting on set.
