There are a lot of things I never did, because I believe in watching those true Hollywood stories and I see how easy it is to lose track of your life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of my favorite things about doing movies is that you get to do different things you'd never do in real life.
I try to stay focused on my life and do try not to be brought into the Hollywood fantasy.
Sometimes over things that I did, movies that didn't turn out very well - you go, 'Why did you do that?' But in the end, I can't regret them because I met amazing people. There was always something that was worth it.
It still amazes me when I look at some of the films I've been a part of, and some of the people I've gotten to meet and work with. I also look back sometimes and realize that I was lucky to have lived through them and even to have survived them, at times.
Very few movies I've done I regret being involved in.
I've done a lot of movies based on real people, real situations, non-fiction books, magazine articles, life rights.
I've always found as an actress that the best thing to do in film or TV or theater is just to lose yourself in it. Think of the story, the character, the worlds we're in, and forget everything else.
I don't like doing movies that are meaningless or unrealistic. I like things with a lot of reality to them. I'm a pretty serious kind of person myself. Things affect me.
I categorically resist this idea that films are supposed to be autobiographical and the only stories you tell are about your own life.
I've never made a film that I didn't believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I've always given everything to it. That's kind of how I approach life. I can't help it. There's no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.
