I have never been someone who applied 'work begets work' to my career, sometimes unfortunately.
From Laura Dern
The bad news is, I have worked less than I have liked. The good news is, I can look back on my body of work and feel truly proud of the work I have done.
It's one thing to have forced time off as an actor, and another thing when you actually say, 'I don't want to read anything, and I don't want to talk to anybody.'
Everything's cyclical. Having been raised by actors, I watched their careers, and the challenge is to take time off.
You don't always get to work as much as you like, because I'm waiting to find things that I care about. Sometimes that's frustrating.
At the end of the day, you have to sit with the scripts and decide where your heart is.
We like our archetypes and heroes to be what they are at face value. And life doesn't work out like that.
It's really fun to act like a bimbo. But it's fun to act like a bimbo only when people know that you really aren't one.
Stay true to your own voice, and don't worry about needing to be liked or what anybody else thinks. Keep your eyes on your own paper.
There are people who consider it almost unpatriotic to be inquisitive and to be truthful about your opinions.
