Quote

Family is at the heart of everything I do.

I don't have the best family history heart-wise, so I really try to keep my heart strong.

Every character I've played is like family to me.

For my own family, I would always choose the makeshift, surrogate family formed by various characters unrelated by blood.

I certainly wear my heart on my sleeve, and I think that comes out in the characters that I play. There's a yearning, or something, that comes out of me that people relate to.

If you can open people's hearts first, then maybe people's minds get opened after that.

When you put your characters in a dire situation, they often do things that surprise even you, so you have to go back and revise your original conception of who they are.

You live vicariously through your characters.

In any character I ever play, whether she's good or bad or whatever, my most important thing is heart.
