Work very very hard. This business is no joke. Make sure you know what you want or you might be taking someone else's view instead of your own.

I love when I'm writing and I'm cringing because I know I'm doing something right.

My actress friends would tell me their horror stories, or say they couldn't get work, and were deemed too old, even though they were established and talented and fit and gorgeous. It was frustrating for them and it was frustrating to hear. Maybe because I was the same age as them and it was already hard enough trying to cross over to the 40s without someone judging your every move.

I'm pretty sure a lot of directors would be thrilled to cast age appropriate roles. I am.

The celebrity culture demands a camera-ready-at-all-times look or else the photo is circulated in a demeaning headline.

The pressure for an actress to look good and be skeletally thin is insane and unrealistic and it's a subject I've been fascinated by.
