I've realized the quirky things that make you different are what make you beautiful.
I went through a period of pulling away from everything - acting, people - not sure if I would ever have a voice in this business.
I think I'm under the radar enough where I don't think I'm typecast as anything yet, so I'm pretty free and clear.
It's a sleepy, wonderful, idyllic town but there's a curse on it from 100 years ago,. . . The people who died in this kind of boating accident have come back to take their revenge.
I can't afford security. I can't afford a gated house. So, I feel a little vulnerable. I wish some laws would come into play.
I remember the audition process for Xena: Warrior Princess; I was driving there and I was listening to The Cranberries' "Dreams," so I was thinking of that audition again recently with the sudden passing of Dolores O'Riordan, Cranberries singer. And I remember that song, I was like, "Okay, I can do anything" as I was driving onto the lot at Universal.
I do turn down things that I feel aren't right for me, like when it's some kind of adolescent thing that might typecast me, but I'm not worried about it.
When I was three years old, I went to an orphanage, but because of the beatings, I ran away when I was five and lived alone by selling gum on the streets. For ten years, I lived like a fly. I was eventually able to graduate elementary and middle school through qualification examinations and the first thing that I ever liked was music.
The single most important route of success is persistence - never, ever give up!
The trick with computers I think, is to approach old and new things with the same reverence as you would like your favourite chair and not be seduced by the constant innovation otherwise you never do anything.
If I had anything to say I'd have a say to everybody.
