I mean, its hard to be an actor in the city - trying to make it as an actor - because you waitress all night, you get home really late and you're super tired and your feet hurt.

In Texas it's always hot, dry, sunny, not a cloud in the sky.

I had just done what she does in the story just about a year earlier - I moved from New Jersey and came to New York and was working at a bar, and you know, trying to make it.

I got lost a lot, and I was a really bad waitress... I got lost on the subway.

I was bookish and dorky in high school, so the best part of this movie was getting to be on the other side.

And so when I graduated I moved to New York, and I was waitressing here and auditioning - and I got my first job pretty soon after.

I invest because I'm really a firm believer in letting the artist make their work, if you choose to work with an artist then you give them the go-ahead.
