It's not a struggle but sometimes when you're gone for a month or two you start to miss your friends. I love acting so much that it fills that gap of being sad about not being able to see my friends.

What I loved about the acting class was that you got to think all day long about a person that wasn't you and figure out why they were sad and what they wanted what they dreamed.

Ideally I would love to mix singing and acting but you can only be a pop star for so many years. I mean at 30 it's a little bit sad right?

Acting gave me the opportunity to do outrageous things. It allowed me to be sad happy angry and lustful even if it was just vicariously.

I was a very good girl for a long time that's what really drew me to acting. The stage was the perfect place to be outrageous to be sad to be angry to be all these different things.

My parents' divorce left me with a lot of sadness and pain and acting and especially humour was my way of dealing with all that.

Acting is not about anything romantic not even fantasy although you do create fantasy.

Acting can be pretty challenging. I can't say making a romantic comedy is challenging but to do anything well you have to put yourself into it.

I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can't think of a profession I have more respect for.

We believe in fact that the one act of respect has little force unless matched by the other - in balance with it... The acting out of that dual respect I would name as precisely the source of our power.
