 But I have had the luxury of working on good films with great people. |
| I'll read a script maybe twice, but I'll think about the role more than I'll rehearse lines. |
| I think it kind of took being a character actor to kind of now enter into leading ladies. |
| I think it's always harder in a film to convey intimacy. |
| I'm still traumatized that I'm going to be on a big screen in a white bikini and naked so who knows! |

| If my gravy train stops at SAG, honey, it's been a great ride. |
