It's Really Fun To Act Like A

I Love To Rescue Animals.... The Pounds Were So Crowded They Were Putting Animals Down Almost Immediately. Seven Thousand Dogs Were Put To Sleep.

What I Consider A Good Part For A Woman And What Some Other Hollywood People Think Are Good Women's Parts Are Very Different. I Don't' Want To Play The Supportive Girlfriend Who Has Nine Scenes And Just Loves That Man, Maybe Cheats On Him In One Scene But Will Always Be There, And I Mean - Give Me A Break. You'll Be Offered The "lead" In This New Hot Film With Such-and-such A-list Director, "a Fabulous Part" - A Fabulous Part? A Fabulous Part Is A Character With A Soul, Who Starts Here And Goes To There, You Know? There Aren't Many Of Those.

I Made A Commitment To Myself: That I Wanted To Be An Actress, And I Wanted To Do Films That Make A Difference. Whether It Makes Someone Laugh, Or It Has A Moral To The Story - It Doesn't Have To Be An Ethical Film, But It Has To Move People. If It Doesn't Excite Me, It's Not Worth Doing - It's Better To Work On Myself And My Own Life And Wait Until Another Great Thing Comes Along.

When You're Playing Someone Who Has A Strong Ego About Themselves, You Can't Play Them When You Have The Opposite Opinion Of The One They Have Of Themselves.

Unfortunately, Overall, Movies Are A Conglomerate. People Buy And Sell People In This Business, Which Can Get Really Ugly Unless You Have The Right Set Of Values And Understand Why You're Doing It. Luckily, I Was Raised By People Who'd Already Gotten To That Point, And Seen All The Yuck Stuff - Which Is Probably Why They Originally Didn't Want Me To Act.
