Yet the reality is that I'm a stage actor from the Midwest - probably the opposite of a shark agent.

As an actress, you're already disregarded for a lot of the parts by the people who are setting up those shows. You don't need your agent to be doing the same.

For me, I don't participate in the filming when I represent a reality show star in a case, because that would mean waiving my right to attorney-client privilege, and that would hamper my ability to mount an effective case.

You project a version of yourself to the public to protect and insulate yourself a little bit. Actors come up with a version of themselves in order to protect the real person.

I think if I weren't an actress, I might have made a halfway decent attorney! I like the way they think.

When you do a studio picture, all the paperwork and legal stuff is already taken care of!

If you do a film with a studio, agents step in, they start saying, 'My actor has to get this amount of money', and it becomes about deals.

My agents have me in the Actors' Protection Program. It seems to be working very well. Nobody can find me.

What I've got to do now is let them judge me for who I am as an actor and not for my notoriety.

You always try to work for your audience, to entertain them, but that being said, obviously, within the studio system you feel the sense of responsibility to the bank.
