The only way to really portray a character and tell a story well is to be flexible internally. And one of the ways we're blocked as actors is being aware of where our bodies are carrying tension.

Maybe it's a personality thing individual to me, but actors always benefit from body awareness.

You have to carry so many archetypes as an actor, especially as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed one.

I think people will always be interested in crimes of passion. And I don't think you can do a genre-heavy show and not be influenced by successful, beautiful stories that have gone before.
