opportunity acting lustful
Acting gave me the opportunity to do outrageous things. It allowed me to be sad, happy, angry and lustful even if it was just vicariously.
thinking ties years
I think ties are great and Kathy Bates is an actress whose work I've admired tremendously over many years, and I feel a certain kinship with her, we both came from an extensive theater background.
thinking giving trying
I never liked the bar scene. I tried to like it. I would give it a try every three or four months. I'd think, tonight I'm going out. But I never met anybody in that circumstance.
thinking people feels
I think that I do separate myself a fair amount. And I don't feel like I am representing women. That's up to however people interpret it once they sort of see it.
people trying want
I just try and do the best with every role I get to do. Hopefully the experience in itself is a good experience and people will want to work with me.
girl perfect long
I was a very good girl for a long time, that's what really drew me to acting. The stage was the perfect place to be outrageous, to be sad, to be angry, to be all these different things.
thinking acting towns
I think I knew acting was what I wanted to do. But I was from this small town and there was no place for an adult to recognise it.
