When You Have Something To

Socially, I Like The Idea Of Sitting In A Theater With A Bunch Of People.

The Midwest Isn't Somewhere You Mix With Those From The Performing Arts. But My Mum And Dad Would Go Off To Chicago Every So Often To See Shows. They Would Bring Back The Albums And The Movies, Those Little Eight Metres, And We Would All Watch. I Think That Was When I Fell In Love With Acting.

I Aspire To Be An Instrument Of The Director. I'm Happiest Like That. The Stronger The Director, The More I'm Willing To Give Them. It's Not Just About Admiration For Their Films, It's How They Deal With You, And Whether They Get You Or The Way You Work. If They Don't, You Better Adjust Your Way Of Working To Suit Them. I Want To Work With People Who Are Good At What They Do, And People Who Are Passionate. As You Get Older, You Suffer Fools Less Easily. That's Why There's All Those Cranky Character Actors. I'm An Exception. I'm A Sweetheart.

When I Give Over To Somebody's Vision Rather Than Have An Idea Of What I Need To Do, It Takes Me To Places I Wouldn't Have Got To By Myself. I'm Always Attracted To A Strong Director.

You Have To Lose Yourself To Find Yourself.
