I Am A Person Who Is Not

I Think Sometimes When You Can Feel The Velocity Of Change, Like Nowadays, You Really Need A Seat Belt. It's Almost Like Having A Growth Spurt That You Can Feel, Like A 16-year-old Who Woke Up One Day And Grew Four Inches Literally Overnight. That Can Be A Painful Thing Sometimes.

Acting Is Doing. The More You Do, The More You Learn. Work Begets Work.

I Like The Ritual Of Putting On My Makeup, Putting On My Costume, Doing My Warm-ups. I Eat The Same Dinner Every Night Before I Go On Stage. I Like Having Something That I Can Count On, Something That Feels Stabilizing For Me.

I Will Do Plays As Long As They're Interested In Having Me Do Them. It's The Biggest Opportunity To Learn The Most About How To Act. Something I Discover Every Time I'm Doing One Is How Little I Know About Acting - How Important The Art Of Listening Is, And How Important It Is To Listen With Your Entire Body. You Can Tell So Much Of A Story With Stillness, And A Lot Of That Can Be From Really Actively Listening To Your Scene Partner.

Your Mind Knows Your Pretending, But, In Terms Of The Adrenaline And The Fact That You Are Actually Crying, And That You Are That Upset, And You Are Screaming, And You Are Simulating Terror, Your Body Does Not Know That It Is Not Real. Your Body Feels Really Wrecked Afterwards.
