I'd say I'm quite powerful so I'm not afraid of jumps or acrobatic elements. The hardest part is... get on the beam and stay there on top of it!
The first thing I went out for was 'The Sopranos' and I got it, so that's how it happened. I hate to say it like that because I wait for calls now.
I torture my mother with all my problems, that poor woman.
I do yoga; I'm pretty dedicated.
Quentin Tarantino is a genius. I want to do every single film with him.
Editing is not a part of the filmmaking process I've ever been privy to as an actress.
I'm part wood nymph. I require mountains and warm, dense patches of moss to thrive.
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.

There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like 'Down to the Bone,' you have the opportunity to be of service.
The limelight is a tricky place, because you can't believe what's going on around you. You stop observing. You stop perceiving. You stop extending yourself, and you become isolated.
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.
Monuments and archaeological pieces serve as testimonies of man's greatness and establish a dialogue between civilizations showing the extent to which human beings are linked.
No doubt I enjoy being close to people in the way I dress, the way I speak, and the way I communicate with people.
A major theme in all my books is that the CIA is not only the first line of defense but they should also be the first line of offense.
One of the most talented writers out there is Brian Haig.
