For me, I try to see difficulties as a way of expanding and growing as a person inhabiting this planet.
Actually, guest star roles are really hard. Since you have to walk into a show where the cast has been working together for a long period of time, it can be a real challenge. And you have to feel your way around that while still making an impact on the overall effect of the show.
Acting was truly all that I ever wanted to do. I've always acted in plays and sang and played music, and you get to a certain age and think there's nothing else that you'd rather do.
I did the figure of Diana in V, a cult TV show seen all over the world.
I have no regrets about my life.
As an actor, your life experience is just as important as studying.
And that might have led to other shows but you know what LA is like. I was in my early 30s and it wasn't going to get easier. You know, that's when you start to wonder if you might have to get lots of plastic surgery.
I think some people in their 20s really get it, that acting is about creativity and the work. They get their maturity from their work.
Then Mission Impossible brought me to Australia and that was great because I fell in love.
It is a good thing to happen to you, to have that taste of fame because then you don't hanker for it.
I think it really holds you back having to think about your image.
I think if you're half-hearted you shouldn't go into acting.
I just feel passionately about a few things and particularly about helping artists get off the ground.
I feel lucky. I think acting can help to keep you young. It does make you feel there's meaning in your life.
