Life Has Got All Those Twists And

You Start Out With Big Dreams And I Mean, Big Dreams Artistically. You Want To Work With The Greatest Living Directors, Make A Great Movie. I Wanted To Make A Great Love Story, I Wanted To Make A Great Epic And Then You Realize That The Truth Of It Is That It's So Hard To Make A Great Film. It's Hard To Get A Great Role. Those Big Expectations Change To Realism Pretty Quickly. But What's Never Changed Is My Desire To Work With Great Directors And To Find Projects That Push Me Out Of My Comfort Zone And Keep Me Alive. I Still Don't Think I've Done My Best Work

I Dig My Heels In Every Now And Then, And Think 'i'm Not Going To Do What's Expected Or What People Think Is The Right Thing.' So I Have A Little Bit Of That In My Personality.

I Think Actors Are Getting So Much More Power These Days, But I'm Not. I Stay Very Much Away From The Decisions, The Way In Which Things Are Orchestrated, What's Been Changed. I Just Try To Stay Completely In The Role As The Actor And As The Character.

As An Actor You're Only As Good As The Things You're Offered. And There Just Weren't Any Female Directors Offering Me Things. So When You Dissect That, You Realize There Aren't Women Offering You Things Because They Don't Have The Opportunities. I Work To Raise Money For Women's Cancers; I Use My Voice For Violence Against Women.

Yippee! I Can't Believe I Made It. It Feels Like A Long Haul To Get Here. I'm So Fine With It. People Want You To Have Some Sort Of Breakdown, But I'm Relieved To Be 40 Years Old, And I've Lived A Life.
