The Celebrity Cafe: What inspired you to become an actress?
Alex Lombard: Well, I think it's something I've always wanted to do. You just sort of know.

TCC: So is that something you could see yourself doing again?
AL: I definitely would like to direct again for sure.

TCC: Your movie, Morning Calm, discusses the concept of love lost. What was it about that script that made you want to pursue the role?
AL: Well, my writing partner wrote that, so of course I jumped at the opportunity to work with him because I wanted to support him anyway that I could. I was really excited to be able to collaborate with him because that was his first thing he directed.

TCC:What has been your favorite role so far?
AL: I probably couldn't pick just one, but the role I played in the film I directed was really special. I wrote it and was able to act in it, so that was pretty special.

TCC: I see that you've also starred in some TV shows. Do you find that you prefer movies over TV?
