I guess I don't have the cut-throat ambition that some other actresses have. I don't know how good that is for my career, but I know how good that is for me as a person. And to me, that's much more important.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As far as developing a career as an actress, I think it's a fine balance between trying to just work, and also be true to yourself.
As actors, you like to think about the luxury of having choices in your career, but for the most part you kind of take whatever comes your way and hope that you carved out something that you're proud of in the end.
Frankly, we actresses are so much in a hurry. We feel we have very few years to shine in our career, so we neglect our personal life. But for me, both aspects are equally important. I don't want to grow old and have regrets.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
My ambition is to become one of those actresses that is like a chameleon that you don't recognize.
I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role.
From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.
There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.
As an actress, you have to give your character a life, a history, and make it full and rich for yourself.
I always knew that the only thing I wanted to do was act, but it took me a long time to say it out loud to anyone, let alone myself. I am surprised by how dogged I have been in wanting to make a living as a respected actress.
