I say to the writers, please keep writing for us, we're very interesting. And to the directors, please keep taking chances and giving us complicated, rich characters to play.
I just feel my way through. If I had to give an acting class, I wouldn't know what to do.
I'm now so much more capable of receiving love and giving it in a far different way.
I believe that as much as you take, you have to give back. It's important not to focus on yourself too much.
