I feel like I have a skill set, but every experience is different and there’s always room for improvement.

Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.

I really like Shakespeare a lot. The characters that he writes for females, I think, are really great and a lot more compelling than what modern writers write, which is weird because they didn’t have actresses then.

I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don’t do anything that outlandish anyway.

I think women get caught up too much in having a plan – ‘I’m going to get married at this age I’m going to have a kid at this age’ – and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don’t want my life to be based on that.

Knows Regular School
I used to struggle a lot with dwelling on how the day at work was, and I would dwell on my performance. Now, I’m like, “Well, that’s over and done with, and I can’t control the outcome, so move on.” I just remember that it’s entertainment I am making.

I am forever grateful that I got some training in the theater – it reduces performance anxiety.

I’ve really turned a corner recently in terms of not taking work too seriously, so it is much easier for me to not take my work home.

I like a director who is very observant and is watching what I’m doing and noticing what I’m doing, but is giving me time to figure it out. They don’t jump right in and give you a note before you’ve had time to really search on your own with how to do a scene.

Directors Giving Scene
I did a run of a play over the summer in a really tiny theater in New York and that was rejuvenating for me. I directed a short series for Hulu called Paloma and being in an editing room, I learned a lot about acting.
