Quote

As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.

I wanted to make a movie, because the whole life of the movies appealed to me. You work hard for three or four months, then you don't work at all for a couple of months.

Like actors and writers who are on and off again in terms of employment, I had a very unstructured life.

I quit my job, and went ashore to become a writer.

I'm still an actor who wants to work all the time.

I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed the money.

I took two years away from making films to write a novel.

I started writing screenplays myself and eventually directing.
