I never felt like a happy-go-lucky ingenue to begin with. And parts are written better when you're older. When you're young, you're written to be an ingenue, and you're written to be a quality. You're actually not written to be a person, you're written for your youth to inspire someone else, usually a man. So I find it just much more liberating.

Image
I'm always curious, but I'm learning things I never thought I'd learn. I get to travel to places I never thought I'd go.

When your life is being threatened there's an instinctive urge to fight. You fight for the time you have, for your relationships.

My castings sort of go in phases. There'll be several icy professional parts - a lawyer or a cop. And then there'll be the intelligent-but-wounded group and then the period things. It goes in sequence.
