I played a real nasty little girl but most of the roles I had up until then were very sweet and very nice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After many of years of getting cast in sweet, angelic roles, I'm finally getting to play closer to my real life as a horrible person.
I've had my share of villains and played some fairly nasty characters. But I've been acting for so long. I started out as the girl next door. Now I'm the grandmother next door.
My first big role was when I was 17 and I got the part playing Maria in 'West Side Story' in my school production.
I know that some of the characters I played were trash. But then, I chose to take up those roles, as I enjoyed doing them.
I remember I was like five or six years old; I played the devil. That was my first role.
At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.
I've been very lucky with the roles that I've played in that they were wonderful roles for women. They're incredible, flawed characters that I really gravitate toward. I just never want anybody to be able to put me in a box.
I do keep getting these bad girl roles. The funny thing is that, honestly, I don't think I'm believable as these aristocratic mean girls. But I do love playing them.
My first four roles were all nice guys, Raggedy Man being one of them.
I think in Mrs. C, I certainly played myself. A very compulsive, sweet person.
