I never pictured myself in California. I just thought I would be a character actress in New York on the stage. I never really had that stardom goal; I just wanted to be able to work as an actress and not as a waitress.
My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.
I had pictured myself as a filmmaker but I had never pictured myself as a director if that makes any sense at all.
Each time I had five hours of the poison going into me, I just pictured everything that needed to be burned away. I pictured wars, I pictured the things my father had done to me, I pictured brutality, and when it was over, I am light.
I guess because I never pictured myself wrestling, I find myself wanting to push every limit possible in this industry.
When I pictured heroin, I pictured some crazy crackhead with no shoes under a bridge. You never think that is going to be you. And it never was me. I was never under a bridge, and I always had shoes.
I had never really pictured myself working in children's ministries. I always figured I would be more comfortable with maybe teens or adult ministries.
I never pictured myself as a telenovela galan - never imagined I'd be in a soap opera.
I never pictured myself as a telenovela galan - never imagined Id be in a soap opera.
I never pictured myself as a professional musician.
I never pictured myself being liked by anybody.
I never pictured myself as an entertainer or a superstar or a model or anything like that.
I never thought of myself as a Broadway actress. I'm not really a singer or a dancer.
In the beginning I was just a makeup artist and I never really pictured myself doing anything else. But now that I have so many doors open, I kind of want to be that indie rock Paris Hilton - but with actual intelligence - she's just stupid.
I've been doing my job for a long time and I never really thought about being an actress or being anything like that. I was always a bit scared as well because of the thing about models becoming an actress and all that. I just never really took it seriously.
I am very ambitious and have set goals for myself. I really don't keep a tab on what my contemporaries are doing. I want to push myself as an actress and don't want to get into the rat race. With every film, I want to grow as a person and an actress. The character I play needs to change me in real life.
