I think I would've been a bit terrified to have gone and done a lead straight away. Obviously great if you do, but it's all about longevity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've made sure I am working hard enough to get that lead and keep it there.
I think anybody can relate to the reluctance to have to lead sometimes.
When I was about 15... I made my first attempt as a leading lady, and was, of course, a complete failure.
You know, I've always tried to look at things as just what the part was. I never tried to worry about whether it was the lead or not the lead, because I think you can really mess your mind up when you're too caught up in those things.
I don't have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I'll do it.
It might be scary because you're taking a risk, but at the end of the day you can say you tried.
When I was young, they just gave me the lead. And when I got old, they wouldn't see me at all.
You can't lead anyone else further than you have gone yourself.
I love to be the lead, but you can't always be the lead.
I decided to do the maximum to hold onto the lead for as long as possible. That is why I pushed so hard from the beginning. I was at 100 percent concentration.
