Before Scientology my life seemed direction-less. I knew there were things I wanted to accomplish in life, but I didn't know how to get there or where to start. I was worried. I worried a lot, even at a young age.

My brother is an actor and at that time he had already had many successes in acting. I knew that 's also where I wanted to go with my life, but I just couldn't pick myself up and do it. I also wanted to write but I had this idea "I'm just not creative in that area".

So that's when I started in Scientology. I wanted help. I did my first major course (called the "Key to Life" course) and realized that I definitely wanted to act. Then I did the Life Orientation Course that follows the Key to Life Course and I really confronted and organized my life. By the time I finished that course I felt like a new person and three months later I got my first film with a major studio (Dazed and Confused). From there my career as an actress completely took off. I've been working ever since and also continued in Scientology.

About 4 years after that I had received some Scientology counseling on the subject of study, subjects, words, etc. I didn't realize how much having misunderstood words was stopping me or not allowing me to have interest in certain subjects or to even study my own field more. After that I sat down and wrote an entire script with my best friend in one month. A year and a half later we were shooting the script I wrote. Scientology works! Without it, I don't know where I'd be.
