When I was around 9 years old, I was watching TV one day. I was looking at this commercial, with a kid in the bathtub playing with a rubber ducky or something, and I said, 'Where do those kids come from? How come they get to be on TV? I could do that stuff.'
My parents were like the kind of people who read the 'Enquirer' and believed everything it said.
I've been fortunate enough in my career that I haven't been typecast at all.
I wasn't an overbearing child. But I was aggressive. I always managed to get what I wanted somehow.
I can't ask for every movie I make to be great and brilliant. I can only try.
After about a month of living on my own, I began to feel it. I bought some plants. I remember I named one of them Penelope, and I would talk to her and water her every day. Apparently, I over-watered her, and she died. That's when I knew I needed a roommate. So I got one.
