Someone once told me that the most dynamic actors are people who have stories. People who have lived life. People with experiences.
There's material that I read that I fall in love with, and I always get a little bit sad because I know that, when I fall in love with it, almost everyone else is falling in love with that same piece. Getting the crack at doing that thing that, in my soul, I know I have to do it, that's the role.
Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.
Never reveal your insecurities to a man, because nine times out of 10 they have no idea they even exist.
My elbows are double-jointed, so I can flip them inside out.
I think the dream role is getting the opportunity to really sink my teeth into something and transform in the role.
My career has been successful, but it's been a grind of hard work.
Most actors want to sink their teeth into amazing material.
I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible, classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways, and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did, I think, Wow, thats a really wonderful man.
Often, people ask if it's different doing live-action and voice-over, but the only thing that's different, really, is that we're in a booth and there's no camera on me. But, my intention, as an actor, is exactly the same.
Is it easy to avoid paparazzi? It is, it really is.
I'm actually very sensitive to energies, and when people are not aligned, I can feel that.
I tell the most horrible jokes.
It's funny because the voice-over world is definitely another career. It's another outlet to be creative. But, I'm just not invested, in the way that I am with film and television.
