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.

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.

Just believe in yourself and to find spirituality that’s going to carry you. Because all the rest is just fluff.

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.

When you think about going back to the States you start to become more aware of the violence there and how we pollute the Earth more than the New Zealanders.

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

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