It’s crazy to think about. Tiny little moments change the course of your life, and that is certainly one of them. Especially because I had no interest in acting prior to that; it wasn’t even on my radar.There have been several times throughout my career when I’ve not been sure if this is what I’m meant to do. I tried to pull away and do something else about three times. But for whatever reason, I kept getting pulled back. So, I like to think this is meant to be and I’m meant to be here.
Yes, it is. What I’ve learned throughout working in horror is the importance of really grounding the performance. In one of the first movies I ever did,, I was followed by something no one else could see, and in a lot of the scenes, I was literally running from nothing. I had to figure out early on how to tap into my own deep trauma and find experiences to pull from.
Definitely. Look at the Oscars: You rarely see a horror film nominated. But these actors’ performances blow me away. It’s just interesting that no one is talking about them. Previously, horror wasn’t necessarily as challenging as it is now. I loved it when I was growing up, but when I revisit the movies I was watching, I see hot girls, half-naked, running while covered in blood. That’s what was successful at the time. The genre has changed significantly in the past 10 years.
