I love writers. All of my best friends are writers.
I think it's always harder in a film to convey intimacy.
New Orleans. Born and raised. I lived there until I was 19.
Why are comedic parts for women the exception, not the rule?
That's the hardest part of acting: when it is ultra-personal, when it is deeply personal, and there's no lying involved. You can't fake it, you can't get by it. This is dealing with the most primal instincts and emotions that a mother can have.
But no, had I been successful in my 20s I would have been just fine. But it is nice to defy the odds.
