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

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.

In a way I'm lucky because when people suggest I won't be able to do something I have no choice but to show them they are wrong. If I say I'm doing it, I'm doing it. No matter how hard it is.

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.

Actresses feel immense pressure to keep up. Nobody wants someone who doesn't know how to market themselves.

There is another movie I love that always sticks with me and influenced me called "Frankie" starring Diane Kruger as a model past her prime trying to make it work and going crazy from how she is treated.
