All We Want Is To

The Fact That I Got Into Acting At All Was Kind Of Fluke-ish. I Loved Movies, But I Can't Remember Ever Really Wanting To Be An Actress, And I Certainly Didn't Imagine Ever Being In A Movie. I Think I Wanted To Be A Writer.

I Binge-watched This Show Damages. Glenn Close And Rose Byrne Are So Good. Lily Tomlin Is In It. You See All These Great Actors And The Writing Is Terrific. There Are A Lot Of Shows Like That. And There Are All These Conversations Right Now About Roles For Women And Being Paid Equally And All Of That, But I Think What It Really Is, Is Opportunity.

I've Read The Bible. I Think The Bible's A Great Book, But It's A Novel. It's Beautifully Written And La-di-da, But People Really Took It The Wrong Way.

I Think That As Actresses - And I've Definitely Gone Through This In A Really Bizarre Way, Because I Worked So Much And Was Really Lucky With The Roles That I Got When I Was Younger - I Remember Hearing The Older Actors Saying, "it Gets Tough," And Thinking, "really? I Can't Imagine."

I Was Mid-sentence When The Casting Director Said, "listen, Kid. You Should Not Be An Actress. You Are Not Pretty Enough. You Should Go Back To Wherever You Came From And You Should Go To School. You Don't Have It." She Was Very Blunt - I Honestly Think That She Thought She Was Doing Me A Favor.
