It was important on The Shipping News to have my house far enough away from each location so I had this time in the morning to think about my shots and still remain open to surprises once I got to the set.
I started acting pretty young, so I haven't had too many odd jobs. But I used to sell candy out of my locker in middle school.
I like to disappear into a role. I equate the success of it with a feeling of being chemically changed. That's the only way I can express it.
