As a teenager, I worked on Indian reservations, and it was such an incredible culture: the elders are so respected.

I went from weirdo teenager to pixie waif to them not knowing what the hell to do with me.

I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time.

I would have to say 'The Crucible' stands out because it was one of the best experiences I've ever had, but, you know, Arthur Miller being present on the set - which was wonderful and incredible - but, to have him in your eye line is quite intimidating. It's such a beautiful language he created, so that was challenging but exciting.

There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

I would never give advice, because I would feel very presumptuous.
