When you're an actress, you become this thing in people's hands that people are trying to manipulate. I cannot stand it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.
It's a political and manipulative industry. Actors vie for the same roles, movies are snatched away. Have I ever been manipulated? Yes. But I haven't manipulated anyone because if you think from the heart, you cannot be calculative. I have spent nights crying.
I think, as an actress, whether you want to or not, whether you're ready for it or not, people are going to look at what you're doing, and they are going to look up to you, and it's not even really about you; it's who you portray on the screen.
As an actress I feel that if you start to impose your own inhibitions, then you are not doing your job.
What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being.
For me, as an actress, you are playing a character, and to play that character, you have to get into that mindset.
I think it's so funny when people think they can't control a movie star. They can. We're just women, you know.
At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.
When I decided to become an actress, I think I let some people down. It was a kind of rebellion.
I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything.
