People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have learned that acting is not about beauty.
As an actor, you don't have much choice about your appearance. It's a good excuse for looking ridiculous.
I'm not an outstanding personality, and I'm certainly no beauty. Acting ability is all I've got to trade on.
I don't get acting jobs because of my looks.
I know as an actor there is a certain liberation auditioning for a role that has no beauty requirements.
I think being the conventional beauty is limiting, so I'm glad I'm not that. If I looked different, I wouldn't have the great opportunities I've had.
I don't think, as an actress, you want to be beautiful. It's actually a disadvantage because that's not where all the interesting parts lie.
As an actor, you have to understand how you are seen and then play with that. Otherwise, my looks are not important.
People take years learning how to act; it's a skill, not just a job. If I tried it out and thought I'd be OK, then perhaps I'd go for it, but it's not the kind of thing you can get into just because of your looks.
I may be the first actress to admit that beauty doesn't hold you back. I think beauty is a gift that you have to make the most of. I've worked hard at trying to look my best.
