I wanted to do a movie about being really good at something, yet being socially awkward and not as advanced in your personal life as you are in your creative life.
From Alicia Witt
All of those art-based fields are similar in that they're all hard to make a living in and they all require an intense amount of training and discipline.
I went to national piano competitions and did that whole circuit. Then I played professionally to support myself when I moved out to LA.
You have to really concentrate on piano or acting. You can't do both.
My goal is to just keep playing roles that are different from the roles I've played before.
On-screen relationships are the best because you don't have to worry about saying the wrong things. And if the guy's got a girlfriend, or I'm not attracted to him, it's even better. It's just my character kissing his character.
