As long as they're not still living with their parents, [dating younger men] could be viable.

I was a very outgoing, gregarious, full-of-energy kid.

I loved New York, but I never quite felt like New York was my home either.

I always say, "Don't let a 'no' or even a dismissal defeat you, let it be the fire that makes you want to go. Every time someone says, "No," that makes me even more determined. That's one of the things I want to try to teach young people. Oddly, the other thing I want to teach the young people is to get a hobby. That's what I first say: "Do something that brings you happiness other than acting, because this business is so fickle." I make blankets and stuffed animals. I don't know. I'm a weirdo.

Even when I’m not working, I’m still working on something because I just want to create something.

Everyone's "journey" is different. Obviously with mine, I've had some amazing breaks, but then you have to be ready to seize the moment when the timing and the luck line up. You can't be afraid. You have to be open. I feel like I've always been a leaper, and I've always leapt into things without thinking.

I made things a lot harder than they needed to be out of fear and anxiety.
