I wanted to start with a very small role, to get my feet wet. I'm sure I'm not as good or as experienced as other actresses, but everybody has to start somewhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.
Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it.
I started as a director and just fell upon acting.
As an actress, I learned a long time ago that there is a lot of this business that is just out of my hands. All I can really focus on is going to work every day and doing my best.
For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.
I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role.
I really always felt that I was going to be an actress. I had a lot of confidence in the fact that I would do well from a very early age. I didn't know how tough the business is.
I'm definitely one of those actresses who comes to a set knowing how I want to do a scene, and I definitely love input from my directors and my writers.
As an actress you can participate, you can be a co-author, help the director. But I always wanted to be able to make the big decisions.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
