It Took A Lot To

Growing Up With Three Boys In A Heavily Male-dominated World, I Especially Needed To Express Myself As A Woman.

Almost Six Years Ago, Before I Was Given The Incredible Opportunity To Be In 'leaving Las Vegas,' I Was Going Through A Long Period Of Artistic Confusion. I'd Spent Years Doing Work That Hadn't Pushed Me Enough, And I Was Beginning To Wonder If I Had Any Talent.

I Feel Like My First Conversation With Someone, I Really Get A Good Feeling About Who That Person Is And Mainly About How Open They Are.

Every Film Is A Crapshoot. It's A Mystery When A Movie Comes Together. I've Never Been Able To Figure It Out. I Don't Know How I Make My Choices. The Only Thing You Can Do Is Know There's Something About A Character That You Really Want To Experience.

I Understand Now That The Vulnerability I've Always Felt Is The Greatest Strength A Person Can Have. You Can't Experience Life Without Feeling Life. What I've Learned Is That Being Vulnerable To Somebody You Love Is Not A Weakness, It's A Strength.
