lady legs
a lady who couldn't keep her legs together.
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.
shy proving-yourself not-sure
I was always much more shy. All I knew was that I loved to act. But I don't know about the other part of it. I'm not sure I had the chutzpah to go and prove yourself.
subway problem sometimes
I get recognised sometimes. But I just live my life. I get on the bus, I get on the subway, it's not a problem.
laughing people feelings
It's such a great feeling to make people laugh. I know I've made people cry or want to slit their wrists, but to make people laugh is a very intoxicating, wonderful thing.
rope ends
I certainly do get at the end of my rope at times. We all do.
opportunity thinking might
Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession.
