An average gal.” [self description] "I'm very happy at home. I love to just hang out with my daughter. I love to work in my garden. I'm not a gaping hole of need." "Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan." "I was not particularly bright, I wasn't very athletic, I was a little too tall, odd, funny looking, I was just really weird as a kid." |
