All of us have read the stories about young people in Hollywood and all the challenges they have to confront there, and I think that artistically, I really didn't understand the commercial side of the film business, so I went back to a purely artistic setting.
From Marisa Tomei
Not to get overly psychological about this, but it's probably why I became an actress in the first place: for that kind of freedom and refuge, as well as for the fact that I just love acting so much.
I grew up on musicals, and I know they are quite the thing now, but I'm actually a little indignant, because I started taking singing lessons years ago - I put the time in!
Singing really oxygenates your blood. You stretch your lungs and take in much more air into them than before. It's really good for your health.
I prefer to express myself physically, or non-verbally. I prefer just to react without having a lot of dialogue.
I've just been lucky. I'd like to have more choices, and I'd like to have a leading part.
I'm a person who has to eat! I graze every few hours.
I never got into coffee.
With acting, it was really more of a general kind of experience of really just loving being in the theater.
I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist.
