First of all, plain and simple, you have no real idea of what it means to be famous until you become famous. It's a double-edged sword. Obviously there are a lot of amazing things about fame, but there are also a lot of challenging things about it.
Acting is kind of brutal.
I guess I do a really good job at covering.
Having a full-blown company is just something that I don't have the time for now, ... I was just starting to feel really depleted, and the kids are getting older and the demands are different now.
It never occurs to me that I'd be intimidating to anybody. Maybe I should consider that...
They were distracted for a split-second, which was all it took for the other man to jump into the car.
I would speak up if I see someone being rude to someone.
Rudeness is what gets to me. Yeah. That one does get to me, I have to say.
I know that I want to wait for something that I really feel great about.
I decided I needed something that I could feel as passionate about as acting, and something in which I could completely lose myself. I started painting, and I'm still doing it.
I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again.
Acting's an odd profession for a young person; it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're not actually producing anything. For a young person, that's really challenging.
The value of a good education has never left me.
There's always an imbalance with actors and actresses in the industry. And I think because there are just fewer movies overall being made, it's that trickle down effect.
