A Well-cut Dress Is My

To Me, Acting Is Very Therapeutic. I Get Out A Lot Of Anger And Frustration. It's Maybe Hard To Believe, But As A Kid I Really Had A Lot Of Self-doubts. My Father Was Very Ill - He Was An Alcoholic - So There Were A Lot Of Things That Built Up For Me. And Because I Was Going To A Catholic School In A Small German Town, A Lot Of It Was Suppressed. I Was Angry And Didn't Know How To Get It Out.

I Find Period Pieces Really Difficult To Get My Head Around. How Can We Know What It Must Have Been Like To Be In Nazi Germany In 1944? The Reality Weighs On Me Because I Feel Like You Want To Try And Honor What Happened, But How Can You Truly Know? I Have Never Lived In A War Or Lost Anyone.

I Feel Vulnerable Sometimes - When I See An Emotional Scene, For Example - And I Remember What It Took To Get To That Place, And I Fear Sometimes That Everybody Else Can See That. You Bare A Part Of You That Makes You Uncomfortable. I Freely Give It, I Know, But I Feel Like People Know Something About Me That I Wouldn't Otherwise Give Freely To A Stranger.

What You Wear Is Such An Expression Of Who You Are. That's Like Someone Picking Out Who I'm Going To Date!

Sometimes It Takes Courage And Experience To Allow Yourself To Actually Go Into Being Someone That You're Not, And It's The Most Liberating Thing To Let Go. I Do Think That's Why I Love Acting - It's Being Someone That You're Not. And Sometimes You're Really Scared Of It, And Then Once You Let Yourself Go There, It's The Best Thing Ever.
