I cut coupons, love specials and believe in buying toilet paper and toothpaste in bulk. It's just who I am.

The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.

This is my one and only life and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive.

I grew up in a trailer park in Bellingham, Washington.
