I do research. I do emotional sort of Method work. Somehow it’s a huge mishmash of things that becomes my own acting process and my own way of navigating through something. But ultimately the desire is to be honest, and for that truth to bleed through into your work and onto the screen.

You have to love, without judgment, every actor that you're working with to make beauty.

It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system.

I do have to say my daughter, Sunday, said to me [I was being] overprotective, so you must have been a fly on the wall.

I was walking around legally blind. Now I have 20-20 vision. I can't believe I spent so many years blurry, but I think that coincides with how I was feeling. Now I notice if people are watching me, but I also smile right back if someone waves, which helps.

I find trying to solve problems and save lives is far more important than my film career.

I'm willing to fly close to the flame.
