I struggled with being in the public eye, losing my anonymity when my star rose quickly in the late 90's. But I need the challenge of showing up and getting up there to spill my guts and connect with my loyal folks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star.
When I am not on the stage, it is always very difficult for the public to find me! I am a private person who does not always want to be in the spotlight!
I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous.
It took me a good decade of hiding in my house and not going outside to even, like, get my arms around this idea of celebrity, where suddenly people are looking for you to pick your nose or get a shot of you kissing some woman. It's a very discombobulating thing.
Today, there's an expectation that you get to know public people. In the past, it was much more what you did and how you presented yourself.
Switching the public's perception and view of me was, and still is, kind of a challenge to get them to see me outside of a character that I played on TV for so long.
I've been alienating my public since I was 20 years old.
I grew up never seeing myself on-screen, and it's really important to me to give people who look like me a chance to see themselves. I want to see myself as the hero of any story. I want to see myself save the world from the bomb.
I don't really want people to see me. I'm not into stardom.
I'm young: I've lived my life in the public eye, and I've had to figure out how to do that.
