I think listening to people is helpful.

I always find time to read novels and poetry as well as scripts; I like to enjoy different kinds of storytelling. I spend time at the beach and with my loved ones. I like traveling to unfamiliar places to challenge my perspectives and glean wisdom from other ways of life.

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

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

I am inspired by working professionals who find lots of time for family and friends. It is easy to get caught up in a career, and I personally aspire to maintain strong connections with the people who matter most to me.

Exercise is great for endorphins, and I come from a very outdoorsy upbringing, so that means a lot to me.

Sometimes I can inhabit a feisty, vicious character. Sometimes I can inhabit a painfully shy British girl, or whatever it might be. I'm able to step into these other parts of myself. I feel like, as long as I keep doing that in my career, and I keep tapping into different parts of the human condition, that's all I ask for.
