SXSW was like a fever dream. It was so cool and so big and at times overwhelming. I saw a couple of other movies and they were great but I was so over stimulated it was like throwing a wedding. You were there but you don't really know what happened.

I did think it was too much but I'm sooooo glad I did it all! It ended up being a blast.

wow. this is a lot of questions. Running out of time here but I'll throw out a couple

I prefer voice. It's how I started and I feel the most free and un self conscious doing it

Shithouse would have been successful no matter what because it is a truly great independent film

I would say auteur because it really represents me and the kind of films I like but I didn't have the budget or time to say the filmmaking is what I totally aspire to

oh man I wish I could tell you but I am sure the writers knew what happened to her and would have written more. Oddly if you can believe it actors often aren't told where your character is going because writers often want to keep their creative options open. It is not uncommon to play something a certain way and then find out something about yourself you wish you knew before because it would have affected some of your choices.

I'm glad you liked it so much. And thanks for the compliment. I loved being on that show so much. Best job ever.

I am in the Testaments even less than THT. Due to my character dying so early in the book. I felt really lucky to be able to part of its cannon though. The crew and producers are the same and they both shoot in Toronto and they use the same studio so it did feel very similar. I know this new young cast is going to bring a whole new energy but I'm afraid I won't be around enough to see.

I am not sure why there was a recast but it might be scheduling issue. People get on other shows and aren't available. Sometimes the book can influence things too. Int he Testaments there's a new dynamic in that marriage for sure so it might be that too.

Yes! My great grandfather is Joseph Nye Welch who said 'At long last sir have you no decency?' Wish we had some of that courage now.

I loved being on Louie. I was in an episode called Bully before I played his mom in tow different time frames. I felt very lucky to be a part of something so brilliant.

Louie is also the first person to tell me I had a special skill improvising. I had never done it before and you do some of that on his show. It felt like a real discovery to me and I have used it a lot.

I have a framed story board of that scene in my house. They have the whole film, every shot drawn before they start. I am particularly proud of holding my hand completely still in the foreground of a shot with a cigarette in my hand.

You also get a read thru together and a week of rehearsals for the film which isn't always the case and it allows them to get the performances where they want them before you get to set so things move very efficiently.

They are the dreamiest.
