giving actors scripts
But I've always been hard to cast, I've never been an ingenue, I've never been the romantic lead. I'm an actor; give me the script and I do what I do and hope it's good.
looks unconventional
I’m not sad about any of my life. It’s so unconventional. It doesn’t look anything like I thought it would.
dog children believe
I have this dog named Marley, and it is a kind of love I had never known. I have a hard time believing Marley did not come from my body. I know that sounds insane, but I feel that connected to her. She made me realize I wanted to adopt children.
laughter insane celebration
In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.
sobriety actors better-person
There is no question that sobriety has made me a better actor, made me a better person.
important actors littles
Writers, actors, anybody working on an ensemble-type thing, there are going to be some creaks in the beginning. It seems like there's tremendous potential in just letting things sort of breathe a little bit. It's tremendously important.
interesting want stuff
The high-grossing films are not all that interesting to me, I have to say. It's not stuff I would want to be in. Yes, you would want the big paycheck, but that's never really been my concern.
dog children crazy
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?
friday monday years
I'm a very ritualistic, routine-oriented person, and I discovered over the years that I love working Monday through Friday.
dream hard-life balance
I've watched those shows my whole life - being on one is like a dream. It's hard to balance that dream with the fact that this is the Edie I've known my whole life.
years support acting
I was able to support myself by acting alone about six years ago. Until then, I was just scraping by.
fighting boys kind
I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys.
naps able afternoon
I love being able to take a nap in the afternoon.
character thinking people
One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.
