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.

I feel such a connection to 'Violet.'

We all have something in our past that is gripping us, and 'Violet' is very much about leaving those things behind.

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.

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.
