I thought people would think I only wanted to be an actor because my dad was, rather than because I had an innate calling.

People feel that I became an actor because I am from a film family and that my parents were actors. But actually, the only reason I wanted to become an actor was to get away from studies.

I've always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.

My father was an actor, and my mother was his agent, so I had it on both sides: the crazy actor and his representation.

I've suffered from an identity crisis my entire life. It's why I went into acting.

My father started out as a riveter, but he had the soul of an artist. He worshiped Shakespeare and had aspirations to be an actor. He claimed that from the first day he laid eyes on me, I was going to be this great dramatic actress.

My father came from nothing, so he believed that people could do anything if they worked hard enough. I think he liked that I chose to be an actor. Both he and my mom were totally supportive.

My parents were both actors; my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.

I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself.

When I first started acting, everyone in my family did not want me to act.
