The pattern of a newspaperman's life is like the plot of 'Black Beauty.' Sometimes he finds a kind master who gives him a dry stall and an occasional bran mash in the form of a Christmas bonus, sometimes he falls into the hands of a mean owner who drives him in spite of spavins and expects him to live on potato peelings.
In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.

I'm pretty unusual for an actress in Hollywood because I am totally unselfconscious about my body.
Sometimes there has to be a goat on some level, and I'm totally fine with that being me.
I don't look back. I don't look forward. I am totally now.
