I've been very lucky in the characters I've chosen. Up until last year I was a nobody. I did jobs I booked because I needed to put food in my mouth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People say they love the characters I've chosen in my career. But I didn't choose anything. I just happened to be working and these were offered to me.
Up to that point I never really knew what my character would be expected to do, and prior to accepting the job I had actually turned down the role three times before finally giving in.
I have to say, I feel really lucky. I've had a lot of great characters to play.
Acting is a mix of luck and choice. I got lucky.
If you're fortunate enough, you get to a position where you can be a little pickier about your roles.
I'm lucky because I have never been pigeonholed and the roles have kept on coming.
I have a fine level of recognition in the business and among the acting community now, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones. If I didn't think that, there would be something wrong with me. I'm grateful and thankful for what I've got.
I've been very lucky. I wanted to be an actress, but I didn't really have the drive to sell myself. Fortunately I had a terrific agent in New York who kept me going from job to job.
I'm one of those fortunate actors who gets to work pretty much every day. I've had a run of good fortune and work with some terrific people who have hired me.
None of my characters have really had jobs.
