"During my time as an actress I had a deep need to CREATE human behavior. I was no longer satisfied with REENACTING human behavior as all the previous techniques of acting had taught me. Along with my theater training, I also had a great deal of psychology in my background, so when I started this work, I began to do research on human emotions. I spent countless hours studying how emotions were actually formed in the brain. Where they are stored - how they affect us. I wanted to dig deeper, psychologically. I wanted to know, understand and deeply feel how the character feels. I wanted to walk as she walks, talk as she talks, think as she thinks and react (without thinking) as she reacts. I wanted something that would work on the master shot AND also work hours later when my coverage came around. That reliability is the beauty of this technique."
