It`s about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along. That`s partly because I found myself getting typecast, as everyone does unless they pursue roles that are very different from what they`ve done before.
I`ve had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I`m trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don`t want to do that. It just makes me feel kind of dirty for having done that.
I went backwards and forwards over it until I was 22. And then in the past few years I began to say to myself, OK, look, I`m not messing around. This is something I want to attack, instead of thinking, I`ll just see what happens with it.
