"I end up doing roles where I’m afraid I’m going to
embarrass myself or fail. But then it gives you that extra
hit of adrenaline, and you have to step up your game."

"You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want
to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people."

"I have always known I wanted to be an actress, but
my New York experience made me realize that my desire
had nothing to do with becoming famous or making money,
I was interested in exploring the human soul, its complexity,
I wanted to work to understand something about life and myself.
Being an actress means being in another person's shoes and
therefore understanding what the person whose role you play feels;
but also connecting with other human beings, as a mark of
profound professional intimacy, that often touches the soul."

"Every character I play I feel is like a woman I got to meet
and learn from getting to hang out with. I see them as their
own people. So I think I take something away from everything."

Your letter is beautifully written and very heartfelt. I fully agree with absolutely everything you wrote. As an actress myself, I can honestly say I'd feel immensely proud if anyone ever wrote that to me, and no wonder Jess gave you such a genuine and sweet response. Thank you for sharing that with us.
