Honestly, there was a time after I came out that I really did not think I would be working again.

I just have a belief that when there is a rare script out there that speaks to you, you have to stick with it. You have to.

It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.

I will say that my personal business is my personal business. And I will leave it at that.

I think it magnified it. For me, I wasn't sheltered so I think it was magnified. Especially when you're a teenager and you go to high school and you're in the business and you are known.

I feel that I've been very fortunate in the films that I have gotten and that I've chosen to do.

But especially if you have the wrong people within your circle. Truthfully, at the end of the day, no one cares about you in this business whether they are your agent or your manager or your publicist.
