My mother was against me being an actress - until I introduced her to Frank Sinatra.
I remember when I first started in the business, I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous, some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.
I am going to be a great actress.
I'm an actress, primarily. I love to write poetry. I've been writing poetry since I was 12 years old.
My job as a double was always to put [actors] at ease. My job was to make my character, or the actress that I was doubling, look as badass as possible by being there.
I started off when I was seven years old doing musicals. I was in ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘The Sound of Music,’ and my mum’s an actress. My parents divorced when I was young, and when she couldn’t find a babysitter, I was in the wings, sleeping.
I'm not a great actress, and I never thought I was. But I happen to have something the public likes.
Some people are suspicious of others who have more than one talent. I've had poets tell me to my face that an actress can't be a poet.
Well, I was lucky in that my being an actress totally overshadowed my having some kind of a. . . legacy at Yale, so that was kind of great.
I'm not used to being asked what I want to talk about. That's why I'm an actress. Get told what to do, stand on the mark, say your words, wear this, look this way, look that way.
The only thing that I could think of to do was to be an actress.
I feel like I go through cycles as an actress.
I think my guideline has been to find things that inspire me. And as long as I stick to that, I don't think I'll have any problems crossing over to becoming an adult actress.
Now every model wants to be an actress
I don't want to be an actress, because I think that they have to be really pretty, and I'm not.
