As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.
I'm always inspired by actresses who are older than me. Because I know that person has lived so much more life than I have. There's a whole other toolbox.

I don't like theatrical actors and actresses. I like people that talk like real human beings.
