What I did suffer when I was young was because I was sort of a hick coming into New York City. I was made fun of by a lot of the Factory people. Even Andy Warhol thought I was a hick.

It's interesting how you can blur the line between acting and living and learn from your performances. I'm just trying to keep learning as much as I can and not get caught up in all the distractions that can play havoc with your mind.

Do what you need to do and if it hurts too much obviously don't do it.

But I'm glad I'm not one of those actresses who is just so ready to open up for everyone.

Times have changed, but people don't change. That's why ON THE ROAD has never been irrelevant.

I've actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series.

Once you have done with school, you realise that it is just a smaller version of life, and really I have felt that I should have been an adult since I was aged about five.
