My whole goal was to be able to work in television and film and maintain a normal life, never be in a tabloid.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
My career was full of struggles and dreams, disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter, no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.
When I was 26 or 27, I gave up journalism. I came to England after my mom died, to let serendipity take its course. And I just found myself back in journalism again.
I'd wanted to be an actress my whole life, that was my goal, that was all I cared about.
The world when I was 13 wasn't truly driven by tabloid magazines and social media and reality shows. I was able to have a little more of a private life.
I wanted to be an editor or a journalist, I wasn't really interested in being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur in order to keep my magazine going.
I'm not someone who likes to be in the whole Hollywood tabloids.
Actually, I wanted to become a journalist, but no matter who I imagined myself to be in the future, somehow I was sure: I would leave my hometown. I felt it was my destiny.
I had discovered journalism to be my life's ambition.
