On Acting:
I thrive on taking incredible risks in a pure way. I have a love for playing characters that I can identify with and connect to because it makes it that much easier for me to disappear into the part.
On Writing:
I enjoy collaborative writing far more to writing on my own. There is just something about two writers finding the “third voice” together that I find extremely rewarding. It also makes the brainstorming process more fun when I am working with a friend.
On Directors:
I enjoy placing myself completely in the director’s hands. I love being under a directors control and I love being there to help their vision. Helping someone put their ideas in the world is a rewarding place for me to be.
The professional relationship of actor to director requires an extraordinary level of trust and mutual support. I like being coaxed as an actor, to be brought out of my shell. I don’t do well being pushed and being told what I have to do. I do much better when someone’s very in control and self-assured without being forceful.
On Film Making:
Developing a film is a collaborative process so I prefer to work with people that I like to be around. The producer, writer, director and actor are all going to be working on the set together very closely, and for me, it’s easier to work with people I actually want to hang out with.
