I really believe in the characters I play.

I believe in doing the right things; that is my character and personality.

Every role that you accept makes you grow in some way. It's part of the creative process.

I start with an idea or a problem or a conflict, or even a situation that might be pertinent to the lives of young people, then the characters grow from that point. I try to make strong characters that change and develop and learn from their mistakes.

I love becoming a character outside of who I am. Even when I was a little girl, I loved make believe, so I like it.

I love making characters real and believable, through my own experience and choices.

Every story I create, creates me. I write to create myself.

I'm a big believer in the notion that our greatest potential lies in our darkest parts. To a certain extent it's only in facing those parts of ourselves that we can truly grow, and I think that's true of all of the characters I've played, certainly in the past few years.

I like to think I grow as a writer from every new experience.

I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human.
