I'm just so blessed to be able to do what I just love and have loved since I was a teenager, since I first found it, and to be encouraged by others for it.
I would have to say honestly I was very pleased to be in a film whether it was good or bad with De Niro, Norton and Brando even if I don't have any scenes with them, I thought it was pretty good company to keep.
And what we do is sacred.
We don't take it lightly. It impacts us.
If you have a big voice, so be it. But if you do things quietly, so be it. It can be done. I think it was a destiny for her life.
I'm thinking about directing, but I know it's a lot of work and I appreciate what directors do and I would like to be good at it. The opportunity has presented itself four to five times, and I usually said no because of the script.
That play and those performances had a huge impact. It just changed the whole trajectory of my life. When [Jones] kills that woman at the end of the play, this simple-minded man who is gentle with a little mouse, it just spoke to my little girl's heart. I was the last one out of the theater. I was sitting there weeping.
I think we both have a genuine respect and love for what we do. Theater is sacred.
I would straggle the line between being the bright and smart kid and trying to be cool in the lunch room that sort of thing.
