One Of My Friends Committed Suicide When

I Think I Really Scored With My Parents. All Of My Friends Pretty Much Came From Broken Homes, And My Parents Are Still Together, But Not Only That, They're Still In Love And Still Write Together.

I Grew Up In San Francisco. My Parents Were Not Hippies; They Were Writers. They Were Very Active Politically, But On The Intellectual Side, Not On The "taking Drugs In A Field And Listening To The Grateful Dead" Side.

I Was Mid-sentence When The Casting Director Said, "listen, Kid. You Should Not Be An Actress. You Are Not Pretty Enough. You Should Go Back To Wherever You Came From And You Should Go To School. You Don't Have It." She Was Very Blunt - I Honestly Think That She Thought She Was Doing Me A Favor.

I Remember When I First Started Being In Magazines, I Had Pretty Thin Skin. I Was This Nerd That Read Books And Stayed Home And Didn't Go Out.

You're Lucky If You're In Three Great Movies, Or Even One Great Movie. I've Been So Lucky. But If You Rely On The Business To Dictate Whether You're Happy, It Gets Really Complicated. You Just Can't Do That. There Have Been Times In My Life That I've Done That, And I've Found It Depressing.
