You have to figure out 'who am I?' 'What do I want to do?' 'What do I want to say?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. I'm going to figure out what that is.
Life flies by, and it's easy to get lost in the blur. In adolescence, it's 'How do I fit in?' In your 20s, it's 'What do I want to do?' In your 30s, 'Is this what I'm meant to do?' I think the trick is living the questions. Not worrying so much about what's ahead but rather sitting in the grey area - being OK with where you are.
At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.
I can do anything you want me to do so long as I don't have to speak.
You're trying to find new ideas in people. I always think to myself, what question I am least comfortable asking the person? And then I make sure I ask it early in the interview.
When people asked me, 'What are you going to do?' I'd say, 'I'm going to be an actor,' without really thinking about it. And I started acting without really thinking about it. I only thought about it properly a bit later.
You write to please yourself, you write to move yourself, to engage yourself in the asking of questions that are important to you.
I'm not used to being asked what I want to talk about. That's why I'm an actress. Get told what to do, stand on the mark, say your words, wear this, look this way, look that way.
The question isn't, 'What do we want to know about people?', It's, 'What do people want to tell about themselves?'
It is not the question, what am I going to be when I grow up; you should ask the question, who am I going to be when I grow up.
