Some people have been unkind. If I say I want to grow as an actress, they look at my figure. If I say I want to develop, to learn my craft, they laugh. Somehow they don't expect me to be serious about my work.

When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does.
