Prior to being in 'Carousel,' I had only seen the movie. So, when I read the script, I felt like it was a lot deeper than the movie portrayed it to be.
I like directors who come ready to challenge you to ask the right questions about your character, and I know that directors appreciate that in actors as well.
History can just be so unkind as time passes.
Being in the bands of a hurricane, it's not like a tornado that's going to pass very quickly. It's the most serious thing that you will ever experience next to, I'm sure, an earthquake.
We all have something in our past that is gripping us, and 'Violet' is very much about leaving those things behind.
I feel such a connection to 'Violet.'
The themes in 'Violet' are universal: accepting yourself with all of your flaws, moving on, and the forgiveness and freedom that comes along with that.
