I Just Want To Be A Part

I Have An Amazing Mother Who's A Real Tough Cookie. She Taught Me Not To Get Emotional About [sexism In Hollywood], Just Be Really Practical And Objective. Later, In The Privacy Of My Own Home, Maybe I'll Bawl Or Break Some Dishes, But You Just Have To Keep Going. It's Not About Fighting, It's About Educating.

My Twenties Were Great. Who Didn't Have Fun In Their Twenties? But My Attention Was More Out There, More About The Surface Stuff And The Cosmetic Stuff. I Was Always Thinking, 'what Do I Need To Do?' Now In My Thirties, It's, 'what Do I Want To Do?' I've Just Become More Solid With My Own Identity. So Whoever Wants To Say Their Twenties Are Better... Yes, They're Fun, Especially At Night - Better Parties, Better Cocktails... Not Better Sex Though. Absolutely Not. And Whoever Says That Is Lying Because Sex In Your Thirties And Beyond Is F**king Out Of This World.

Being A Former Dancer, Classical Dancer, It Informed Me As A Human Being Just In Terms Of The Grace I Guess. Ballet Is A Very Graceful Form Of Art. You Also Become Very Aware Of Your Body And Your Mind And Your Body Is Working In Conjunction. That Kind Of Helps You In Acting As Well. It's Not Only Using Your Mind, It's Like Making Your Mind Communicate This Character Into Your Body So That You Can Bring It To Life And Physicalize It.

For Me, It's Very Important If I Do Action Movies And I Have A Stunt Person, To Work With Them. Not Only By Memorizing The Choreography But Also It's Important To Study That Individual And It's Imperative For That Individual To Study You Because You're Not Playing Two Different People, You're Playing The Same Person.

I Just Want To Be A Part Of Great Stories, Whether I'm Part Of An Amazing Ensemble Cast Or I'm Leading It Or The Antagonist Or Whatever.
