I write from what I know. I write fiction based on my fantasies of how I imagine the lives of others. As an actress I use other people's words to share stories and use my imagination to create full, rich characters. Writing allows the space to explore characters through words the way I do with my imagination when acting. I teach yoga to make a living which constantly reminds me to draw myself back into the present from my thoughts of past, future, or fantasy. I have written a screenplay, TV pilot, several short stories. I am drawn to beautiful words, and ugly characters as well as filthy words and gorgeous characters. I love to throw myself into reading fiction because, like yoga, it allows me a full embodiment of an experience-and like acting- that is completely foreign to me.
