My Thing In High School

I Wanted To Take Up A Sport The Real Way And See If I Actually Had Athletic Ability. And Then I Happened To See It Was During The Atlanta Olympics. And There Was A Lot Of Coverage Of Archery Because The U.s. Men's Team Won All The Medals. And I Thought, "wow, That's Beautiful. And It's So Dramatic, A Beautiful Sport. And I Wonder If I Would Be Good At It?"

I Had A Pretty Poor Self-image For A Long Time. I Broke Into Acting As A Model In New York. I Was Never Anything Like A "supermodel," But I Made A Living At It For A Couple Years. The Thing Was, I Was Convinced That I Was Tricking Everyone Into Thinking I Was Attractive.

When I Started Out, Maybe Because I Did Thelma & Louise Early On - But People Were Always Asking, "are Things Better For Women Now?" I Would Say, "yeah, I Think So. It Seems Like It." Then A Few Years In, I Started Saying, "i Think So. I'm Getting A Lot Of Good Parts, But I Don't Know." Then Eventually, I Was Like, "google It. I Don't Know, But It Doesn't Seem Great."

My Point Was The World Is Missing Female Characters. A Lot Of Times There Is One Female Character, Maybe Even A Cool One, Maybe Even An Important One. But Where Are All The Rest?

If You Risk Nothing, Then You Risk Everything.
