You have good days and bad days, and depression's something that, you know, is always with you.

What's great is my parents aren't stuck in the '60s. My dad is so into the culture of today.

Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.

I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

It's weird because I think of movies like Reality Bites or something, where, even though my life was nothing like that, I hadn't done something contemporary for a while, and it's easier. You do try to make something your own.

I will say, though, that San Francisco is a very friendly city. It's the kind of place where people smile at you and you can strike up conversations on the street, so there's always an adjustment when I come back to New York. If I smile at someone on the street in New York, then they think there's something up - like, "Why is she smiling?"

Certainly with The Crucible, what I love is that every role in that is so crucial.But there's something almost comic. I remember there's that line where she says, "I am 18 and a woman, however single," which killed me every time!
