What was a very private childhood hobby turned into a very a public, professional job, and I think that there's a lot of inhibition that can grow from that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've done quite a lot of growing up in public, which has been tricky at times.
I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.
People are intrigued and fascinated, almost obsessed with the private lives of great public personalities.
My idea of professionalism is probably a lot of people's idea of obsessive.
Growing up in public is especially hard sometimes.
The line between private and public lives is a fertile one for me. I've lived quite a public life, and it's the reason I have used well-known people in my work. I'm interested in what's going on beneath the facades they present to the world, taking them to a place which is uncomfortable.
The only time the private parts of someone's life are relevant is when they're affecting public performance. And just because someone is a public person doesn't mean that any part of his or her private life is open to scrutiny. If someone is doing his or her job, you have to have enough empathy to understand that we all have personal problems.
As an actress I feel that if you start to impose your own inhibitions, then you are not doing your job.
Kids lead a very private life.
I do think my childhood is one of the fundamental reasons that I'm able to do my job. We were raised in this totally nonjudgmental family. We never knew who was going to walk in the front door. And as a journalist and a photographer, you walk into so many different scenes that you have to be open to everything.
