In real life, I always look at people and how they walk, or how they carry themselves. I think about the body a lot, in performance.

I have always loved both drama and comedy.

The clothes, the shoes, the gold belts and the necklaces always click me into the character, for sure. You could not feel the character, and then you put on the shoes and get the walk.

I think that being a mother, you would do anything for your children. Their pain is your pain; if they're in pain, you feel their pain.

I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered, where I've been like, "I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me."

In real life, my son had a little injury a couple of years ago where we had moved into a new house and he put his hand through a glass window and it cut him really badly. Thank god he had surgery and repaired everything, but I remember I felt frozen I was so scared, and then I realized I was holding my hand just because his hand was hurt.

I try to put my own history in my work.
