My acting is still being recognized for the fact that I wasn't nominated.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first time I was nominated for an award for professional acting, I was in my mid-twenties. I was married and the mother of my first two daughters. I had been working for near to 15 years.
I've been nominated twice before as actor in a leading part. Now I'm nominated as actor in a supporting part. If I don't win, I'll just wait until I'm nominated for being in the theater during the show. Do they have one like that?
I've trained myself not to put too much emphasis on awards, only because I never got into acting to win an award.
For people to even think that I'd be considered or a good candidate for a supporting actress nomination is mind blowing to me.
I've been nominated for Academy Awards, I know what I'm doing.
I'm officially retired as the refuser of Academy Awards.
An award doesn't necessarily make you a better actor.
I like to say that I didn't choose acting - acting chose me.
The Oscar nomination made me a recognizable name to other actors and people in general.
To be honest, I didn't even know what the Drama Desk Awards were until I was nominated.
