Experimentation and making choices that I didn't necessarily know were going to work but I just had to trust in my director, trust my character and just settle in and commit.

Being able to have Wes there because I hadn't necessarily had a lot of directors I could fully, fully trust in that way.

Coming out of this job, I also have more confidence or more interest.
