mother daughter character
When I look at female characters, I want to recognize myself in them: my trials, my tribulations as a mother, as a lover, as a daughter.
tired men seeing
I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other.
thinking community tactics
I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.
soul battle integrated
Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.
awakening portraits intimate
I am drawn to intimate, often uncomfortable portraits of a woman persevering and awakening.
sense-of-humor caustic
I don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.
thinking gambling inspirational-football
I think the worst thing that can happen to a good actor is fame.
character self research
The biggest research of all when I do a character is self-examination. You look at yourself and you ask, 'How am I similar to this person and how am I different?'

Esquire needs to be more like a mommy blog
jobs character media
The more people know about you, the more face-time you get in the media, the harder your job becomes to create a character in whom people suspend disbelief.
character encounters female
When you encounter sophistication in the creation of a female character, you thank the writers and you claim it.
cameras helping sometimes
Sometimes music helps. If I feel that it's bogus, I'll literally just call myself out on camera and say that it's dishonest. You do whatever it takes.
issues breastfeeding etiquette
Esquire's all about mommy issues now. Breastfeeding, vaccinations, playdate etiquette.
way film wrong-way
There's no wrong way to experience a film.
