That's the word - empathize. Feel the story through her. And that's the first time anybody has ever said that they felt that way.

Acting is being susceptible to what is around you, and it's letting it all come in. Acting is a clearing away of everything except what you want and need - and it's wonderful in that way. And when it's right, you're lost in the moment.
