chance check people pose providing sure
It's just providing us a chance to check people out so that we can make sure we don't have someone here that could pose a problem.
dummy position
They had made a dummy and would put it in the position they needed. I would look at it and see how well I could approximate it. They never once used the dummy.
I went out with the mayor. I'm adult, and that was my decision.
birds books books-and-reading exorcism eye perspective point possession several study tried view
I read several books on possession and exorcism and did some study on epilepsy. I tried to look at everything from a birds eye perspective and not let my own point of view get in the way.
athlete mentally physically prepared role tried wherever
I prepared for this role like an athlete would, so that I could do anything, physically or mentally that Scott wanted me to do, and be able to go wherever he tried to take me,
mean vacation say-anything
You know what, I'm happy to say that everything outside of 'Dexter' feels like a vacation, and I don't mean to say anything negative about the show. It's just a different kind of work. Emotionally it's taxing and complicated, and that's a great thing.
school voice juilliard
I went to school. I went to Juilliard. You spend 13 hours a day on voice and speech. Now I realize why.
new-york balance way
I usually spend the hiatus of 'Dexter' in New York in a way to balance things.
thinking gigs would-be
I never thought that I would be so attracted to television, but I don't think gigs like 'Dexter' come along too often.
roles needs communicate
I need to make sure that I'm taking roles that I feel like I can communicate through.
yoga my-sister feels
My sister is a chiropractor and she says I have an unusually flexible lower back, but I don't do yoga, and I don't feel like I'm very bendy.
age trying outcomes
At a very young age I was predicting outcomes, trying to take all the information and find the best route to wherever I was going. I avoided a lot of pitfalls because of that.
couple age trying
At a young age I always had an entrepreneurial spirit. So I'm trying to develop things on my own, too, and there are a couple things that have absolutely nothing to do with the entertainment business that I'm trying to tackle. We'll just sort of see.
school mean rose
In school, I was always being cast as the clown. And then I did The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005), and once people hear you scream, they can't un-hear it. But I don't mean to say that I've been typecast, either.
