The world changed. Hollywood changed. I think we've lost something, and we don't know how to get it back.

To be honest, I miss the old Hollywood way of having some mystique about the star.

Hollywood sold its stars on good looks and personality buildups. We weren't really actresses in a true sense, we were just big names - the products of a good publicity department.

Most people grow up dreaming of going to Hollywood and some of them work and work and work and finally end up in Hollywood.

We were bemused, I guess, when we got the call from Hollywood. We didn't know anything about the entertainment industry or even what a casting agency was. But I thought, 'What do I have to lose?' It's not every day a great opportunity presents itself.

Hollywood is a challenging place; it's very easy for people to lose their heads. Fortunately, I grew up on it and I think I have a little bit of a head start.

Just as many people flee Hollywood as those who flock to it. Hollywood can be an acquired taste.

Hollywood is a very volatile place where artists come in, and they essentially say they want to belong. It's incredibly vulnerable to be an actor and also get criticism at a young age when you're formulating who you are. We've seen a lot of people fall victim to that, and it's very unfortunate.

So many Hollywood actresses become successful and then just keep on going - they miss out on having a partner and a baby and end up lonely.

I wanted to be a movie star. But movie stars are not what they used to be.
