“In every take, that you're not sure of what they're going to cut and paste together and what the arc or the purpose or the intention of your character's journey will be in the story. You don't have control. Sometimes that's wonderful, and sometimes that can be scary.” SometimesCharacterStoriesTogetherPurposeCuttingWonderfulJourneyIntentionScaryNot SureArcs Author:Shannyn Sossamon
“I was very soft. I gained a lot of weight with my second child and was very on the couch. And [my manager] said, "You know, this is a softer role [in Misteress]. She is a softer character. She's a lesbian that's always the passive half of the relationship."” KnowsChildrenSaidCharacterHalfRolesWeightManagersPassiveCouches Author:Shannyn Sossamon
“When I sign on to a television show, I have to love that show and character so much, but this [Mistresses] was in and out, for seven episodes. And it was nice to be able to make some money again because I hadn't work in a year and a half. There were a lot of pluses.” YearsCharacterShowsAbleHalfNiceTelevisionSevenEpisodesMistressTelevision Shows Author:Shannyn Sossamon
“I did a film called The Jesuit, which was an independent film. I did that shortly after Mistresses. I was still feeling soft and I was nursing, but it was a character I'd never played before. That was a Paul Schrader script, with an up-and-coming Mexican director, named Alfonso Ulloa. That has Tim Roth and Paz Vega in it, and I enjoyed that, as well.” WellsStillsCharacterFeelingsFilmDirectorsIndependentScriptsEnjoyedMexicanMistressVegasNursingIndependent FilmJesuit Author:Shannyn Sossamon
