Like when you go to a magic show and you know how they do the illusions. That's how I am when I watch any movies where they have people flying through the air.

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.

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.

I always thought I would be a marine biologist because I love the sea - but considering the fact that I've always loved acting and the theater, I don't think I ever gave anything else much of a chance.

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

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.

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.
