I never really saw my dad as entertained as when he was just completely blown away by somebody on the television screen or at the movies. I think that's the real reason that I went into acting.
From Kim Basinger
I like to see a driven kid: somebody who wants to come from the ground up. I love to see somebody who wants to be the best they can be.
In this business, you can be at the top of the world and at the bottom of the barrel, and you're grape juice. I've been at both ends. It can make you become what you really are.
I just absolutely, totally hated school. It was like a prison to me. I just could not stand that structured, absolute disciplined way of having to deal with life.
I'm extremely competitive with myself. But I'm not actively competitive with other women in the business. Which may have been a mistake. I've never had someone in my life, agent or otherwise, fighting for me.
The smartest thing you can do in this business is get connected with a great agent to help you. Get connected with people who will form a family around you, or a moat.
