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

In film and television you have to be able to see the whole picture in a different way than you do on the stage because you shoot out of order and you're working with technology.

And I think because there is an essence of me that cares about other people and what other people think then that then makes me seem very sweet and polite.

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

I think I'll always be a theater gypsy at heart.

I’ve been looking at oil paintings from oriental artists lately, and the one artist who’s inspired me right now is a man named Hokusai and I’ve had his book by my bed looking at how he interprets landscapes – mountains and water and flowers and birds.

And not to mean that I think I'm some special person, but I think we're all here for a very specific reason and once you figure out what that is then you're on the right track and we're all on the ride together.
