Where You’ve Seen Her: As Rogue in the X-Men movies and Holly Hunter’s daughter in The Piano Six Feet Under - said "I had been a big fan of Anna’s work. It’s a luxury to be able to work with actors who can take this material that is on the surface kind of fantastic and bizarre and really, really make it human and really emotional. I had high expectations and they were exceeded.”
Quote: "Sookie’s so many things in one person. She’s tough and she’s courageous and she’s smart, but she’s sweet and she’s innocent and she’s naïve and she’s quite sheltered and she is completely open-minded… there’s just something about her level of enthusiasm that she has for things that are new and things that are exciting as opposed to being frightened that I think is really appealing.
