Actually I have to say when I'm acting, I try not to think about directing at all.

I wouldn't say that I'm overly religious, but I have a pretty good relationship with my spiritual being.

Filmmaking in general is just really where I'm putting all of my energy.

But on the other hand, I think as an actor, you tend to want to look at the darker parts of your psyche.

Painting is a hobby for me.

But on stage you're able to just take the character from one point to the end and it's a fluid, organic piece. It's about being completely present all the time, right there in the moment.

I've grown so much as a person through playing Gabrielle, much less living in New Zealand and being with all of these people that I can't imagine my life being any different.
