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,
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.
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.
