I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn't mean being pretty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would be very happy doing movies. I love to work and I think I'm a little different.
Perhaps I'm not a good actor, but I would be even worse at doing anything else.
I'm not a strikingly handsome guy, but I'm in movies.
Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism.
Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.
In Hollywood, most things are based on looks, so I'd love to do something that has nothing to do with how I look.
For six months I'd do movies and make it all about me. Then the other six months, it's not about me and it doesn't matter what my hair looks like or what anything looks like.
With proper acting, I don't know what I would play - I got sent a script for a play, and it said in the notes that my proposed character was 'hideously fat and ugly'. That made my day. I mean, I do know I am no oil painting.
A film is a great deal about what you see, and the silhouette of a character tells you a lot. I'd love to go into film costume.
I believe in what movies say, and I'm not an actor because I want things to be about me. I have no interest - if there was any way for my face to not be in a movie and still be an actor, I would do it.
