I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't start out to be a movie star. I started out to be an actor.
Most actors spend a lot of time training themselves to be an actor. And I kind of didn't do that.
I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star.
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
What I want to be is an actor, not a star.
I wanted to be a movie star. But movie stars are not what they used to be.
I didn't become an actor to make money. And I didn't become an actor to be famous - though people always gasp if you say that, as if it's unfathomable that an actor doesn't want to be a star.
Quite frankly, I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.
I had no desire to be a star. I wanted to be a character actress and be able to do all kinds of parts and work on a lot of things. That was my unconscious choice. I wanted to be an undercover actress.
I was not a trained actor.
