I think a lot of time, I'm just writing my worst fears.

Actually, my worst nightmare is losing my best friend, as I imagine most people's are.

I know actors who say acting is acting, but I love the live-ness of an audience. I love feeling the energy of a room and allowing them to sort of teach you how to do it better.

I'm constantly on the brink of tears in conversation about things that happen to people.

I think a lot of time, I'm just writing my worst fears, of the idea of losing my mom or my best friend or doing something so terrible to somebody that's kind of deemed unforgivable, or having a really broken family.

I just love any kind of language that can change the energy in a room. There are no limits for me, as long as it feels like it's being used in a particular way to garner or elicit a very particular reaction, so that you can then use that reaction later for something else. But when it's gratuitous language or physical exposure, then I get a bit like, "Oh! Put it away!"

I have a real aversion to sentimentality, but I also really want to write about love and friendship.
