art priorities forever
Acting is secondary - I don't feel like it's going to stick around because it's not something I want to do forever. My art has always been my top priority and I have far more experience in that field than I do in film.
real thinking artist
I think Damien Hirst is hilarious. And I think he's a true artist. He's not hilarious first; I think he is a real artist, and I also think he's got an amazing sense of humor.
art real philadelphia
But I'm interested in the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia. I hear there are some of the worst Matisses there. I like seeing bad art by good artists. It's inspiring. I'm able to identify with them. It makes them real.
kids people looks
That's what I paint, I paint people. They're portraits, but you won't always be pleased with the way you look in my paintings. Which is fine, I guess. Unless you're buying it, and it's of your kid!
mean littles knows
I mean, I have worked out. I've always worked out a little, you know, when I felt it was, like... time.
people remember
I have to remember that for the most part people will see me for what I do, not what I say I do.
tattoo giving people
I have a handful of tattoos that I really want to put on people that I can't find anyone to let me give them to.
laughing way being-funny
By the way, I'm funniest when I'm not being funny. I'm better to laugh at than with, pretty much.
fun weekend climbing
I don't have that drive to be in this field, climbing up, doing bit parts in movies to make a big movie. But I'm lucky I get to also do acting - it's fun. I should probably just take an acting class on the weekends - that would be enough for me.
passion acting might
I don't have the passion for acting that actors might have.
children cutting habit
When you're literally carrying a child you can cut back on bad habits.
husband kids garden
I want lots of kids and I want a garden and I hope to stay married to my husband. I hope to be working in some way that fulfils me.
friendship girl men
I'll never have a best friend who is a man. It just doesn't work that way. So many times young girls will be like, 'I'm a guy's girl.' And I'm like, 'No, you're not. There's no way a man can understand you like a woman, and you're a guy's girl because you're threatened by other women.' I was like that.
littles painting
I've been painting and making things since I was little.
