baby eye thinking
Since I had the baby I can't tolerate anything violent or sad, I saw the Matrix and I had my eyes closed through a lot of it, though I didn't need to. I would peek, and then think, oh OK, I can see that
character too-much trouble
I have trouble describing characters because there is just too much going on in human beings.
couple men thinking
I wanted to be the kind of woman who would attract a certain kind of man that I could respect. That was my thinking. It had to do with the kind of couple I would be a part of.
fun dark hair
My hair got lighter, and I gradually went blonde. I liked it. Had more fun. But my image of myself in my head is this dark-haired person.
light people would-be
On network TV, I'm still Phoebe to people, and it would be hard to convince them otherwise in the bright lights of a sitcom.
people feelings dimes
You can't help but just be aware that things might not always be as good as they are, because people's feelings about others can turn on a dime.
thinking actresses television
An actress, around 40, on television, that's where you get the most torture, I think.
thinking nerd
I don't think that I ever thought of myself as a nerd.
done aging falcon
At 45, you know what you're doing, but you're still not done.
emotional dumb perception
I always felt like I could be funny, but there was a part of me that always judged actors so harshly... I thought all actors were dumb-that they must have serious emotional problems. Even if they don't, that's the perception I had of them. I didn't want anyone to see me that way.
hate color perfect
I hate cosmetics companies. They get you addicted to the perfect lipstick or nail polish and then, six months later, they discontinue it. You have to buy your favorite colors like you're storing up for the Apocalypse.
communication who-i-am nonviolent-communication
This is who I am. Not everybody has to like it.
doubt moments okay
[Detractors] are just wrong, and that's okay. They just don't see it yet. That's what I would tell myself to keep those moments of doubt, only moments.
work fields facts
You have to surrender to the fact that you are of too many in a highly competitive field where it is difficult to stand out. Over time, through your work, you will demonstrate who you are and what you bring to the field. Just stay with it and keep working.
