My collaboration with Sally Potter on a small movie, 'Yes,' was very special to me. It helped my growth as an actor.

I was the good girl. The straight A student, on the honour roll, part of the choir... I played the cello badly. I did plays.

I get recognised sometimes. But I just live my life. I get on the bus, I get on the subway, it's not a problem.

I'm pretty picky about plays.

I don't get tons of scripts to be looking at and deciding on in terms of feature films; the industry has changed. Fortunately, with television and streaming and original series online, there's this whole new thing that has opened up, which I think is fantastic.

I have three wonderful siblings, and we all pitched in equally to help our mother.

I was always much more shy. All I knew was that I loved to act. But I don't know about the other part of it. I'm not sure I had the chutzpah to go and prove yourself.

Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession.

I learn from each experience, and I take it for what it is and gain what I can.
