Molly Parker Quotes
I'm probably an actor that tends to, instead of putting things on, think about it more in terms of taking away what's not in the character, until I'm left with what is. If that makes sense. That's probably a particularly American way of working, but maybe not. The end of any movie is a readjustment.

Soaps are great. You learn to work very fast - some say superficially, but that's not really true. You do some very serious character work.
