"We did a lot of extra work. We worked at night when everyone had gone home and we would rehearse our scenes"

"We worked very very hard. I was forced into big parts from a very young age, probably sometimes being forced into playing roles that I wasn’t quite ready for but there is nothing like being pushed into something like that to give you maturity as a young actress"
"Yes, but that is not important because one must move the emphasis from yourself to the work"
"Then you are not that afraid because if you are afraid that you won’t be good enough, that is not the question. The question is “What does the work ask of me"
"You can’t just grow all the time. You grow incrementally and in steps"
"Do the work honestly and properly and that is all you can do and go out there and share it. That is what we are here for, to share"
"It’s wonderful because it’s strange, it’s almost with all that pressure gone, social pressure, political pressure gone, it is actually a wonderful relief"
