No matter how old we become, we can still call them 'Holy Mother' and 'Father' and put a child-like trust in them.

You just kind of have faith. If that sounds kind of mystical, it's because I really don't know how it works, but I trust that it does. I try to write the way I read, in order to find out what happens next.

For me it's always about first impressions. I trust my instincts. I love to prepare if it's something that requires training. But I don't like to prepare the psychology too much. I enjoy the psychology of the character but I work better from a first impression.

I was in television drama, which is a first cousin to the movies, and I trust myself to make the right decisions.
