“I don't think I'm ever really going to run the risk of disappearing into a Marve…” — Mamie Gummer

L.A. is... I always feel sort of abducted when I'm there, like I've stepped onto another planet where everyone looks the same.

I was a theater major at Northwestern University and won a role in a play called 'Mr. Marmalade' after I graduated.

I love the energy of an independent film set. No one is there for the money. Everyone is there 'cause they really want to be there. It makes all the difference in the world. It's without ego and agenda, other than just wanting to fulfill a creative dream.

I feel like I've been the star of my own show for a while now. I was always putting on shows as a kid, and obviously, my household was really creative.
