I experienced rejection numerous times.

My job is to act, whether in indie or mainstream films.

I take a bath three times a day.

I know how demanding show biz is. I fear that things would just end up bad if I'd date a colleague.

I was a daughterless mother. I had nowhere to put the things a mother places on her daughter. The nail polish I used to paint our toenails hardened. Our favorite videos gathered dust. Her small apron was in a box in the attic. Her shoes - the sparkly ones, the leopard rain boots, the ballet slippers - stood in a corner.

I'd always done family-friendly stuff. I wanted to do a film where I could show my darker side and make people uncomfortable.

Everyone in my family is pretty much tone-deaf.

When I was very young, I started trying to sing like the great tenor Mario Lanza; my family used to play his records. We all learn best by imitating others.
