| Quotes: |
I'm no relation to Lillian Gish or Dorothy Gish. Not even way back. But when I first became interested in acting, I wrote a letter to Lillian Gish. She wrote back, discouraging me from entering the business.
<br />
<hr>
Nothing about Brotherhood (2006) is ever wrapped up in a nice package.
<br />
<hr>
My parents called me their wise little baby. I was mature when I was 4 or 5. My brother and sister were older, so I was raised by four adults.
<br />
<hr>
I am pretty scare-able. I guess that is why I like doing horror because my imagination can take me places.
<br />
<hr>
What scares me? I kind of believe in ghosts. I believe they can wander around, so that scares me. But the stuff that really scares me are the catastrophic events like my husband or children or my family being harmed, or something like that. |
