I'm a black belt in tae kwon do.

I know as an actor there is a certain liberation auditioning for a role that has no beauty requirements.

I can't worry about whether roles will be there for me when I'm older.

When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.

I'm a black belt in tae kwon do.

People say to me, 'Oh, being a mother must make you a better actor,' and I think, 'Well, I never sleep, I have very little time to think about anything except when I'm actually there.' I wonder whether that makes me a better actor. I think it must on some level.

AMC has a track record for finding actors who have been working actors but not names yet and casting them.
