My mom’s a screenwriter, and before that, she was an actress, and my father was an actor; my stepfather was a director, so I was on sets a lot as a kid. I loved the magic of the set.

And so when I started working as an actress, I would do the same thing. She instilled in me a love of taking everything very seriously. It didn’t matter what it was.
