Just getting to be a part of the 'Star Wars' universe is not something most actors anticipate as part of their careers.
From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.
The biggest concern for most actors has and always will be getting enough work - it's just part of our profession - but a real change is the idea that performers have to be more versatile and entrepreneurial in their careers.
We've all seen great actors and actresses who are missing a certain chemistry. And it's not about getting along or not getting along.
Most actors and actresses are performative as people. It goes part and parcel with the profession and New York actors who are out of work, or actors anywhere out of work, are manic because you never know when the next job is going to come.
Actors and actresses who say they never go to see their own pictures are talking through their hats. You don't have to be a Freud to know that the most fascinating person in the world - actors or anybody - is yourself.
The public want actresses, because they think all actresses bad. They don't want music or poetry because they know that both are good. So actors and actresses thrive and poets and composers starve.
People very often say to actors that they admire their careers, and I rather think that what's implied by that is that we have a choice in the matter. When really, most actors, me included, do whatever comes along next.
When actresses play actresses, or actors play actors, they have to find another level.
Most actors and actresses are performative as people.
I'm sure it's there traced along my career. I'm sure it is in most actresses' careers.
I know a lot of actors who started out as musicians and have very successful careers as actors, but most people don't know them as musicians.
As most actors/actresses, I don't like to watch my own movies, either, and I never look at the dailys while filming.
Going out with other actors is never good; actresses are neurotic, and actors are horrendous egotists.
The industry looks for white actors and actresses, but it's not the same for black actors. We have to really put the work in.
I learn a lot with actors that I don't think are good. Every experience shapes you. I've had experiences with actresses - and I say actresses because there's just a woman thing - that have achieved what she's achieved, by means that I can't understand.
