The experience wasnt easy for me.
I think I started Method acting only I didnt know how to break out of my character.
I really became this other person.

Some people do Method acting, but theyre usually aware of the fact that theyre doing it.
But I didnt have any separation at all.
I was someone else for months while I filmedCrossroads.
I hope I never get close to that occupational hazard again.
Living that way, being half yourself and half a fictional character, is messed up.
After a while you dont know whats real anymore.
Crossroadsis a 2002 comedy directed by Tamra Davis and written by Shonda Rhimes.
