Dealing with these emotions as an actress is like being a boxer put into the ring.

Dealing with these emotions as an actress is like being a boxer put into the ring.

As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love.

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.

The ancient Greeks, poets, authors and philosophers all puzzled over the question but nobody really knows what love is - including me. Longing for another person is an exciting mental experience.

As an actor you're only as good as the things you're offered. And there just weren't any female directors offering me things. So when you dissect that, you realize there aren't women offering you things because they don't have the opportunities. I work to raise money for women's cancers; I use my voice for violence against women.
