brain geek generally good growing love novels open stuff unnatural venture
To be honest, I wasn't a sci-fi geek at all. But I do love a good sci-fi film, especially one that can really take you away. And I read some reality-bending novels growing up, like stuff by Vonngeut, so I already had one part my brain open to the unnatural and unusual, and it's generally fun to venture into that world and film in it.
naked jewelry feels
I feel naked without jewelry.
differences glasses actors
The difference between film and theater is that in film, an actor is sort of under a magnifying glass and everything that they do, just the smallest movement, is very detectible.
independent lunch people
Oh, I love making independent films, it's such a special, magical thing because you collaborate with a small group of people and everyone's pitching in. You'll see producers setting up the lunch table and the sound guy driving a van. We're all really there because we want to be.
tragedy comedy
I trained in Shakespeare, and that's all comedy, even when it's tragedy.
teenager littles social
I didn't have an incredibly active social life as a teenager. I always wished it was a little bit more exciting than it was.
fun drama starting-out
When I was starting out, I always wanted to be able to do everything - comedy and drama and action, and everything in between. Film is so diverse, and it's fun to be able to take advantage of all of it.
inevitably matter somebody
I can't give more than I have. It doesn't matter if I am the most beautiful person in the room. There is inevitably going to be somebody way shinier and more tan than my pasty self.
