I think you can't really reach the emotionally intense stuff without having built a genuine light, playful, connected energy, to begin with.

It's great to do theater and have the live response and know what that can bring to a performance. I like to juggle as many mediums as I can.

I know that I don't have a perfect performance that I bring to set. I bring ideas to set, and I'm more than willing for those to be affected and be malleable, based on what the other person gives me.

As an actor, I was taught, from an early age, that secrets are the most powerful thing that you can have on screen, and that what you withhold is as important as what you share.

For me, I've just always known that women were more than capable of being able to direct.

It is so important to remember that, while I love my job, there are other fantastic avenues to explore in my life.

I think listening to people is helpful.
