I don't honestly know why they offered me the part in Rent.
I am not a trained singer, but when I was offered to sing for 'LPNY,' I took it up as a challenge.
Foxes was a movie that didn't do a lot of business but it didn't do too badly critically and eventually they offered me other things. The interesting thing was that next I tried a film called Star Man, which Michael Douglas was producing.
Most of the women who have offered themselves for public office over the years have done so, I believe, more because of the 'dirt' than in spite of it.
When someone came to ask us for help, it was sacred. We did not even think twice. We helped them, even if we had only meagre means; we offered them arms, a little bit of money, and in occasion, men.
I came close to signing Elvis Presley. I offered $25,000 for his contract and they asked for $45,000 and I just didn't have the other $20,000.
In the kind of films offered to me, I don't even get the role of a city-based college girl. How do I let people know I can do sophisticated, contemporary roles, too?
I have been offered obscene amounts to do commercials and stage shows abroad, but as a matter of principle, I am against them.
I've never consciously chased a particular kind of a film or role. I choose from what is offered.
My parents offered me the idea of ceilinglessness. There was no limit in terms of what was possible; no messages sent to me to say that I couldn't do anything.
