Directing doesn't appeal to me. I'm much more in the world of ideas. My husband is a director, and I understand what it takes to direct.

I don't think I can call myself an actress yet. I just don't think my skill level is that high. I hope that with every job it gets better. But until I'm good, I can say I'm trying to be an actor, but I don't think I've completely made it. ↗

I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun. ↗
