thinking people guy
You never want to be pigeonholed into something and have people think, "Oh, that's the guy we call for this particular thing."
acting amanda aspect character characters exist figuring finding hey intriguing love mysteries wake
Acting is fascinating to me. I love unlocking the mysteries with characters and finding out what would be the most intriguing aspect of that character to exist in. Figuring out a person and getting to be a different person every day, hey - that's pretty lucky. I don't have to wake up and be Amanda if I don't feel like it. You know, that's fun.
bake bring cook food good italian mexican
I'm a really good cook. I bake a lot. I cook dinner most nights. I cook everything from Italian food to Mexican food. But if I'm going to some place and it's a potluck, I'm always the one to bring dessert!
typical fans my-favorite
I wouldn't necessarily consider myself the typical sci-fi genre fan. I do have a lot of sci-fi shows that I enjoy, but I wouldn't call it my favorite genre of all.
character careers bridges
You don't want to burn any bridges, but you also want to make sure you leave your character bridges wide open and you're never seen as one particular thing, or that's who you'll be, unfortunately, for the rest of your career.
dog people trying
I have different routines for different types of chaos. When I find myself swamped with work and surrounded by people, I try to carve out time to walk my dog alone so I can organize my thoughts.
breathing technique routine
I also have a routine with breathing and visualization techniques that I go through when I feel overwhelmed or nervous.
stage-performance lenses faces
Stage performance is obviously a much grander sort of depiction. The audience isn't right in your face as close as a camera lens gets.
character thinking ideas
I think the idea of embodying the physical presence of a character is the same on stage and screen. There are just different levels of expression to keep in mind for each platform.
strong independent intelligent
The work that I have been doing on television has been important to me because I have had the opportunity to portray very strong, intelligent women. It has been such a privilege to depict a woman that is independent, unapologetic, and resilient on both shows.
focus mind use
I also use that centering process I mentioned as a way to focus my mind and connect it to my physical body. I feel that when we are aware of our physical bodies, we become more aware of how we exist on the earth and more considerate of others with whom we share the earth.
moving yoga ballet-class
I give myself a Pilates/yoga hybrid mat class almost every day. I also continue to take ballet classes. Both of these practices help me to be aware of my body, my center, and how I move, both with my physical space and my mental space.
giving-love people comfort
Love for me is comfort. I feel most loved and most capable of giving love when I am around people or in places that make me comfortable.
world good-in-the-world knows
I know that there is absolutely good in the world.
