“I’ve trained myself to be so focused on what’s going well that I won’t allow myself to even entertain difficulties because I feel so blessed in life and in my career. This is a spiritual belief: When you focus on what’s difficult then it will be more difficult. When you focus on what’s good, it will be better. For me, if anything, the difficulties of being an actress have deepened my faith. It has deepened my spiritual practices.”
Advice to Aspiring Actors: “Get into acting class, do some theater and act as much as you can,” she suggests. “I think a lot of people try to get into the business without having any kind of study, so I would encourage them to study.”
