Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

I'll put it out there: I love getting hugs.

My life collapsed. People ran from me because suddenly it was, "Oh my God! It's over for her now!"

When you know psychologically what [characters] are feeling, then that plays out on how you dress a lot of times.

Somehow destiny comes into play. These children end up with you and you end up with them. It's something quite magical.

As an actor you don't control the end result. Because you're a director, you get to control the end result. I think for us, we really have to show up and participate and give. And then let go.

I'm interested in storytelling. I love being an artist now and connecting through art.
