“One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity. I am curious to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives. You're eager to put on their shoes and wear their clothes and have them become a part of you.

And all of that time, I never knew anything about the presence of black soldiers on the island.

Coincidentally, she was born “exactly 100 years to the day that Mississippi celebrated the first Confederate Memorial Day, April 26, 1866.”

“Write what you want to read. So many people think they need to write a particular kind of book, or imitate a successful style, in order to be published.

You're your first, most important reader, so write the book that reader really wants to read.”
