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.

Easier Home Seriously Term
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.

Grandmother House Performance Powerful

The thing with the Bourne movies is that they’re so big in scope and the production value is so high and it takes so much organization.

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

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.
