Very good in the Back to the Future movies, but was born to play Caroline in the City.
I was such a fan of Cyndi Lauper and her whole 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' thing.
So when my film career took off, I always felt like I was trying to play catch-up because I hadn't studied acting before. I didn't know how to manage money or my career. When I look back, I think I was a little bit shell-shocked.
I love really crappy carnivals, where you think the ride is going to break. There's something so seedy about them.
