Out of necessity comes genius.

I want to direct and work with the youngins and the fabulous actors of today.

I was able to be distant by portraying another person, another character, if you will, and I found myself not stuttering and not having anxiety attacks when I was portraying another soul, another being, and I found comfort in that. I think many actors do, playing someone other than themselves.

We have to have films about action and violence and special effects. That's the sad part, but you know what? It's not me doing it.

When you come from an environment that's military, and they don't stress that topic of aesthetics or beauty pageants and makeup, there are a lot of things you just don't have that city girls have. Or the country girl who goes to movies and dreams of going to Hollywood as an actress.

I'm just going to try to do the best work at whatever I'm going to be, and I don't think I'm going to be an actress.

Women were victims. Their husbands could beat them up when they wanted to. They couldn't work. They could be maimed and killed by their husbands.
