It's a whole other way of working when you work in films: You know exactly the arc of your character.

The name Sissy came because my brothers called me that.

I'm a fool for a good role in a creative piece where there are really such talented writers and wonderful actors.

When I'm pushing myself, testing myself, that's when I'm happiest. That's when the rewards are greatest.

I didn't worry about leaving the fast lane - I was just so consumed with my baby that it seemed like the right thing to do. I never felt like I left New York, though. If you've lived in a place and loved it, you never feel like you left it.

You relate to a character and you find that character within yourself. It's all parts of me. I don't leave characters behind. I just let them go.

You know, your career is just your career; your life is your life!
