My tips for any budding actors would be to go out and see as much as you possibly can. Find the people you want to work with and be ready to hopefully make them want to work with you.

There are a handful of actors who sustain interest because it's exciting to watch them get better at what they do. I want to be one of those actors.

I see my actors as my collaborators.

I think good actors - good, collaborative actors who see themselves as leaders in a given production - can and should offer ideas that have nothing to do with wanting to direct themselves.

I really want to have actors contribute their own ideas, with phrasings and ideas on all levels.

Obviously I'd love to work with any of these great directors because every time I've worked with them I've gained a tremendous amount as an actor. Each director has his own way of pushing you towards improving yourself.

A lot of good actors are turning to TV.

There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.

I want to be a good actor more than anything - someone you can respect.
