thinking sweat dancing
Dancing, as Fred Astaire said, is next to ditch-digging. You sweat and you slave and the audience doesn't think you have a brain in your head.
I could just cry. It's just a nightmare, a shame.
girl party party-girl
I never played politics, I was never a party girl, and I never slept with any of the producers.
decent higher mediums
If there's something decent going in television, the mediums now are kind of equal. Television has become much higher quality.
harvey honestly
Harvey Weinstein bought our film, and he's an animal. He's got us out there campaigning and everything because honestly it's a silent black-and-white film.
children mean priorities
Luckily because I had a family and children, my priorities changed. I mean, I'm very passionate about my work but I have other interests and other things that balance my life.
goal long roles
I look to longevity. I just consider myself an actress and getting good roles. If being a 'superstar' gets me good roles, then that's a positive thing. But my goal isn't just to be a superstar. It's to act for a long time.
sweat people tabloids
Now with tabloids and seeing people walking around in sweats pumping gas you're like, 'Okay, they're just like us.'

I did not get Botox because you wouldn't see any expression in my face. Hopefully it has paid off.

The film business has changed so dramatically from when I started.
want full-of-yourself
The thing is, you don't want to overact or be full of yourself.
character television great-character
There are great characters on television.
opportunity television roles
I'm just looking for a kind of project that will have a decent role and is something that I'll really enjoy doing. There are a lot more opportunities in television.
