I believe over the last six years now, I've been learning in between actual acting moments on the show.

All the pictures in magazines and all of that is fun but in the end it's all about your soul and who you are and have you connected with the people.

I'm the type of person who feels I have to prove myself first.

It's very hard to become an actor in film and television, you have to have such perseverance and you have to really believe that if you have any sort of talent at all, you will find work one day.

And I think right now I'm just enjoying finding something such as One Weekend a Month where I can really resonate with this woman's history and her situation.

Maybe they say they do but I don't think many actors really enjoy trying to do a Shakespearean play.

I think you have to have different tools for each job - you know producer is very different from a director and very different from an actor.
