I have a teacher friend who gets nervous when there's $200 in her account. But at least she knows that in a week, she'll get another paycheck. I have no idea.
It's funny because I grew up with the T.V. on 24 hours a day. And the more money I made, the more T.V.s we had.
I don't watch a lot of T.V. I only watch things via Netflix, so I only watch the things that I'm choosing to watch.
I always knew when I graduated from high school, I'd go to college. I never thought about what I was walking away from... I just wanted to study literature and writing.
I'd started acting as a child. But I wanted to see if it was something my true personality was interested in. I stepped away from offers when I took five years off to go to college. I've only really just decided to whole-heartedly embrace acting.
I think that every young person is a little mentally ill, you know? If we're not totally shutting down, we're all a little bit mentally ill in our twenties and maybe into our early thirties.
I started missing acting when I was in school, and I realized after being in the business after however many years that I was really interested in film.
I went to school to study literature and writing, even though I didn't end up really doing that in the end.
I don't know if I'd say I feel green, but I'm getting to know myself as an actor now in a way that I never did as a kid.
I've been told by many people that if I had a Twitter account, I would be making five hundred thousand dollars more a year.
Acting was something that I grew up just doing. I certainly never thought about it.
There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.
I was watching 'Pulp Fiction' when we were making 'Now and Then'. I didn't care about 'Now and Then,' you know?
I think I happened to work with sort of a bunch of slightly difficult male directors when I was a kid. I've since worked with lots of male directors that I love, so I no longer see the distinction gender-wise.
