One Of The Ways I

The Common Misconception Is That As An Actress You Have To Learn What You're Doing. No, You Just Have To Make The Audience Think You've Learned It.

My Friends Started Having Children After College, While I Was Pursuing This Crazy Acting Career And Living Hand To Mouth. Plus, All My Boyfriends Were Artists Struggling To Make A Living. Having Kids Didn't Make Any Sense - Why Would I Take On More Of A Financial Burden When I Couldn't Even Afford A Dog?

An Addict Is An Addict. If They're Not Acting Out In One Area, It Tends To Come Out In Another. I Think There Was A Time When I Considered Myself A Work Addict, But That's No Longer Accurate.

Throughout My Career I've Played A Lot Of Parts That Might've Been Played By A Man. They're Human Roles Rather Than Specifically Men Or Women. I've Never Been As Hooked Into That As A Lot Of Women Are, You Know, Like, 'there Aren't Enough Roles For Women.' There Aren't Necessarily A Lot Of Good Roles For Anybody.

I've Also Learned To No Longer Feel Guilty If I'm Invited Out And Don't Want To Go. If I Start To Say To Myself, 'what's Wrong With You That You're Staying In Five Nights In A Row To Watch 'forensic Files' Instead Of Going Out With Your Friends' I Remind Myself That It's What I Need To Do For Myself At That Point.
