I was trained as an actress. But I wasn't a very convincing actress, so I started doing punk poetry and then fell into doing stand-up.
My goal for Actress is to have it play more traditional theaters.
Bette Davis taught Hollywood to follow an actress instead of the actress following the camera, and she's probably the best movie actress there's ever been.
My sister wanted to be an actress, but she never made it. She does live in a trailer. She got halfway. She's an actress, she just never gets called to the set.
I like to look like a person. It drives me crazy when you see women in movies playing teachers, and they have biceps. It totally takes me out of the movie. I start thinking, Wow, that actress playing this part really looks great!
What's awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That's scary, and they just seem to think it's okay to do it, like you're public property.
I hated the whole idea of being an actress. I used to throw up before every performance and cry afterward.
I think the good thing about my face is it has always been expressive. With Botox that goes - not what you want as an actress.
I am an actress first, a singer second.
I'm a student. I want to do better, and I want directors who can find the actress in me and be my teachers. I'm interested in the whole process of editing, post-production and direction.
I find it irresponsible to go, 'She's an actress, what does she know?' That means if you're a dentist, what do you know? If you're a lawyer, what do you know? It's our profession, it's what we do. It's not who we are.
My nana was an actress, my mom was an actress, and my sister, too. So because I was surrounded by it, it really came naturally.
I just want to do a good job with each role that I take and continue to better myself as an actress because that's what I love about this job. . . being able to act and work with so many different people on such a wide range of projects.
I'm a trained actress and I can do it, but I think that you have to prove yourself
Being a motion picture actress is the pitch of ecstasy.
I'm not really an actress.
That's why I'm an actress - escaping into a world.
Making pictures, for an actress, is like betting, for a gambler. Each time you make a picture you try to analyze why you won or lost.
Anybody can say she's an actress. It's another thing to get a job.
I could feel the real interaction between directing and acting, when an actor or an actress really suggests very interesting things.
