Our feeling is that the most important thing on a set is that actors have enough confidence to try different things. If there's stress or tension, they won't go out on a limb because they won't want to embarrass themselves if they don't feel completely comfortable.

I think actors get too comfortable. I like being uncomfortable as an actor because it keeps you alive. I don't know, I think it's important.

Normally, I rely heavily on my director to massage me out of my actor comfort zones.

As an actor you appreciate the security of a job. But I don't ever want to get too comfortable.

I think all actors experience ups and downs.

I think actors are brave souls that have to use parts of themselves that I'm just not comfortable doing anymore.

As an actor, you try to put a little bit of yourself in everything you do.

And I think it is the genius of actors to be able to escape whatever people are expecting of them. Otherwise you become like a factory worker.

But I've never felt that being an actress is being in a comfortable place. It's seen from the outside that we're being driven in big cars and having these gorgeous suites and all of that. But come on, it's not about that.

A lot of actors never talk to other actors about how they're doing things, or why. I think it's important to share the way you're thinking.
