Every piece of writing I've done has been something where I feel like I need to get this out of me, whether it's a seed of something personal or an anxiety that turns into a play or an image that's in my mind and haunts me that I'm trying to investigate.

When I'm writing, I look like a fool because the parts are moving through me and I'm crying and laughing and making faces.

Part of the challenge of being a girl living in the 21st Century, looking back, the danger is to not judge your character by your own standards.

And when I get bored, it's like the worst parts of me come out. I really veer to self-destructive tendencies quickly.

When my sister decided that she wanted to act, I was so nervous for her. She's doing great, but I have a lot of friends at every level of success as an actor, and we all go through periods of time where they feel like their worth isn't within their own control. That's a horrible feeling for an adult to have.

It's a good thing I learned some humility and perspective as I got older.
