I didn't set out wanting to be an actress. That's not what I did. I didn't go to class striving to become an actress. I just basically - honestly, I didn't have anything else going.
Unfortunately, I think depression and anxiety are really hard to live with. And what people don't need is to feel bad about themselves because they decide to go on medication.
My mom said my whole childhood... was stop and go.
I never thought I could model, and I certainly never thought about acting. It's just something that happened to me.
I didn't know who Avedon was. I was 18 years old. I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade. I had no idea.
I think acting is something that came natural.
I work out five days a week for 20 minutes; I only do one body part a day.
My mom worked for Lockheed Corp. in Burbank as an inspector of airplane parts. To help make ends meet, Dee, a friend of my mom's from Lockheed, moved in. She was a lovely person and helped with our care for many years.
By high school, I was already tall - 5-foot-8 - and one day I made the mistake of wearing green tights. The football players all started calling me the Jolly Green Giant.
I think early in my career, I didn't choose films that were crappy films, necessarily, but I didn't go out and campaign for smaller, better roles.
I think I was pigeonholed pretty early on. And I started late in my career. I was 33.
Strong and in control - I don't necessarily feel that way. I'm a little bit more scattered in my life. I'm more of a street girl, in a way.
I would have loved to do romantic comedies. That's what I think I would be best at.
We all do things where we don't care about other people. And we deal with it in whatever ways we can, denial or make excuses.
If something comes around that would be a challenge, then that would be wonderful. But if it's a watered-down version of something I've already done, I'd rather do something else.
I've got a drought-tolerant garden; I've got a company - crazy as it sounds, we make yogurt. There are actors who have to act no matter what, but I don't want to do it just for the sake of doing it.
I didn't want to be an actress when I was younger - not even when I was older, to tell you the truth.
I didn't have a father growing up, and I was raised with all women, and I didn't really understand men. I thought they were like women, right?
I'll be honest with you: I'd rather have BAFTA over an Academy Award any day. Because it's just cool.
