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.

I have walked away from enormous amounts of money and I have made that life I have wanted somewhat in this business. I love doing independent film, I love doing theater, I love doing studio films, and I do all three now.

See, the SAG awards caught me totally by surprise.

I think it kind of took being a character actor to kind of now enter into leading ladies.

I love writers. All of my best friends are writers.

I don't like a lot of rehearsing.

I think it's always harder in a film to convey intimacy.
