creating goal fulfilling
For me it's all about creating a goal and fulfilling it.
people different imagine
I've grown so much as a person through playing Gabrielle, much less living in New Zealand and being with all of these people that I can't imagine my life being any different.
firsts type feels
I'm the type of person who feels I have to prove myself first.
jobs thinking different
I think you have to have different tools for each job - you know producer is very different from a director and very different from an actor.
heart thinking gypsy
I think I'll always be a theater gypsy at heart.
thinking weekend months
And I think right now I'm just enjoying finding something such as One Weekend a Month where I can really resonate with this woman's history and her situation.
fun people soul
All the pictures in magazines and all of that is fun but in the end it's all about your soul and who you are and have you connected with the people.
flower book men
I've been looking at oil paintings from oriental artists lately, and the one artist who's inspired me right now is a man named Hokusai and I've had his book by my bed looking at how he interprets landscapes - mountains and water and flowers and birds.
believe i-believe stills
I believe I have a lot to learn in life, still.
believe years acting
I believe over the last six years now, I've been learning in between actual acting moments on the show.
hobbies painting
Painting is a hobby for me.
character pieces able
But on stage you're able to just take the character from one point to the end and it's a fluid, organic piece. It's about being completely present all the time, right there in the moment.
writing acting
Because I've always been more afraid of writing than I have of doing anything visually such as directing or acting.
thinking trying acting
Actually I have to say when I'm acting, I try not to think about directing at all.
