Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down.

Joints Running Yoga
Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down. My brain and body can go into overdrive – yoga teaches me to focus on the moment and not get ahead of myself.

It’s not my job to critique the writing. I’m there to serve it. I had to figure out a way to make it work.

Anxiety Forever Grateful
As an actor, you’re only one little piece of the puzzle; you’re fulfilling someone else’s vision. If you’re involved earlier on, you’re kind of creating your own.

Creating Little Vision
I took the role of Ophelia in Hamlet because she is so naive, loving, and innocent.

Innocent Ophelia Roles

Theater makes working in movies or TV seem like a cake-walk.

Cake Television Theater
I did a different production with a different director and Bill Pullman. Oleanna – the one you saw – we were doing right after Bourne Identity or right after it came out.

I never think of myself as an actor who takes work home with them.

Actors Home Thinking
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.
