Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it

My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.

A business like acting is 90% luck. You can be a star one minute and out of work the next

I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you

The poetry when I was a kid felt like something that I could control, and whether it failed or not, whether it was good or not, was totally on me and I could accept that. It was entirely mine.

I haven't had a lot of celebrities around me growing up.

IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT TERRIFIES YOU, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
