Florence Welch

Long, Sing, Curious

Frances Perkins

Time, Women, Long

Arthur Smith

Martina McBride

Time, Long, Writing

Mia Wasikowska

Life, Might, Actually

I ended up living at OJ's because Nicole bought a home that no longer had a guest house. OJ offered his guest house to me. Anybody in LA looking for a place knows the best places to live are guest houses.
Kato Kaelin

In the time between when you first read a script and are offered the role and the time when you begin to shoot, I really love putting in the time and work on that and getting a solid backstory to a character and researching all that I can about what that person does for a vocation or their upbringing or where they're from.
John Hawkes
