I believe in what movies say, and I'm not an actor because I want things to be about me. I have no interest - if there was any way for my face to not be in a movie and still be an actor, I would do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing about being an actor is that you turn into other people. You have to hide yourself a bit in order to let that other person come out.
I didn't picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, 'Well somebody has to be in them,' so maybe I could do that eventually. It's all been a surprise.
You can be really weird, and people will still accept you if you're in movies. I'm not actually weird, but if I feel like being weird, then I can do it, and they accept it because you're an actor.
People become actors because they want to hide, and it's not easy to talk about myself. I accept that a certain responsibility goes with being an actor in the public eye, but I haven't found a comfortable way to deal with it.
I always believed that I never wanted to be an actor. I only did it because I was allowed to do it and I had to do something.
When I started in films, it never really occurred to me that I could make a career out of acting.
I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.
The problem with being a film actress or a movie star is that people see you so huge that somehow you're visually massive or somehow you're in some removed space, which is a television or wherever. It somehow takes your humanity.
I just don't think that I could be the kind of actor I want to be and not be honest with myself. Honesty is very important to me as an actor and as a person. I didn't even think about it.
You know, my point in being an actor is to get people to believe that this is not about me, but something else.
