One of the things I really love about TV is this symbiotic relationship you can get between the writers and the actors and the characters start to come to life because you start to collaborate.
When you know people are really at peace with who they are and what they do they collaborate and want to help you to improve.

I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture.
Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.
It helps to be able to be alone. 'Cuz writing is done alone unless you collaborate but I don't do that. Ask my ex-wife.
I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature but we have to. It's an emergency.
I believe that every role that I have done this far has had quality and content. My roles have been very demanding and every role has been a challenge and a learning experience that has helped me mature as an actress.
