I can never have a poker face. Anybody looking at me can tell exactly what I'm thinking.
People in independent film have a passion; they're not in it for the money.
I always do make a back story for myself, but I'm not sure how necessary it is. I just like to.
The thing about acting is you don't want to let on how enjoyable it is or then everybody would want to become an actress. But it really is. It's a pleasure to go and exchange your identity.
I love independent filmmaking. I don't agree with a lot of it, but that's the point.
