I wanted to get everything right. I was super nerdy and academic. I got so much satisfaction out of getting good grades.

I think the improv also helps with the imagination of dealing this person across from me who's not physically there. When you do an improv scene, you're usually working on a blank stage and creating the props and creating the environment.

I'm always interested in are stories that challenge people.

Sexuality is so much more complex than our boobs. My sexuality isn't me as an object to be looked at. It's the way I say "hello" to somebody, the way I sit with somebody. A body is just a body. But we're really afraid of bodies. They hold a lot of power - I think that's why people can try to shame them so easily, because they are so powerful.

Trust your gut. You know yourself, so don't let somebody else tell you who you are.

Auditions are not a natural environment, and you feel judged, even though everyone is just excited to find the right person.

I'm at the transition place myself, still playing high school girls but moving to a stage when I'm playing older roles and going to the places of stillness and wisdom and knowledge and weight. It's exciting and scary.
