I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
New Orleans. Born and raised. I lived there until I was 19.
I think it would be hard to go the distance in this business without a sense of humor.
But I have had the luxury of working on good films with great people.
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.
In 8th grade I started doing theatre and I remember it was as though I had taken a trip to a foreign land that I had never seen before yet felt completely at home. I remember feeling a genuine wave of happiness and of feeling complete.
