It is to TV that I owe my freedom from bondage of the Latin lover roles. Television came along and gave me parts to chew on. It gave me wings as an actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Television allowed me to kick the Hollywood habit of typing an actor in certain roles.
For a long time I did not want to do television because I did not want to get stuck playing the same person. I wanted the ongoing challenge of a variety of roles.
I have as much artistic freedom in my television work as I have in my films.
TV and film has defined my entire life.
A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory. I did some modeling, and Polanski gave me that small part.
I became an actor in that important drama with an inflexible resolution to persevere through the last scene, when we might be permitted and acknowledged to enjoy what we had so nobly declared we would possess, or lose with our lives - Freedom and Independence!
I just always had a love for television and movies.
I feel really privileged to be an actor, to be paid to do something I love.
I had immense ambition to become a really valuable actress.
People say I owe a lot to television. The fact is I was a star long before television. What TV made me is unemployed.
