Once I found out how much an Off-Off-Broadway actor makes, I was whoring myself out the next day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't become an actor because I thought I'd make lots of money.
I thought I was going to be a theater actor. I moved to New York after college and did some plays and worked a lot. Once the realities of living as a theatrical actor hit me, I realized I wanted to start making a little bit of money and not have to bartend and work in theater.
So when my film career took off, I always felt like I was trying to play catch-up because I hadn't studied acting before. I didn't know how to manage money or my career. When I look back, I think I was a little bit shell-shocked.
I never planned to be an actor. It turned out I could make a living doing it.
My goal was simply to be a working actress. I never imagined myself on Broadway.
I realized early on I was not an actor. And it was a great thing to have that realization. To see actors and see what that talent is... it wasn't me.
I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.
I never imagined being able to make money from acting - and now I can.
I never thought of myself as a Broadway actress. I'm not really a singer or a dancer.
I didn't become an actor to be famous. I genuinely love acting and never expected to make a penny at it.
