I Really Wanted To Work

When I Said I Was Going To Audition For A Film, I Got A Hearty Laugh From All My Family.

Compared To Dancing, Films Seemed To Me To Be The Work Of Lay Bums. There Was No Physical Pain; It Was Enough To Say And Imagine What Was In The Script. It Was Very Easy For Me.

For Most Of My Career, I've Played Roles That Were Written For Other Actresses.

The Director Took My Face In His Hands And Asked Me To Show Him My Teeth, As With A Horse. This Happened On A Wednesday, And By The Following Monday I Was Shooting.

I Went To Dance Classes From 9 In The Morning Until 1, Then To School From 3 To 10 At Night, Always Under The Threat That If I Failed A Single Course I Could Forget About Dancing.
