character thinking lead-characters
No one goes through life thinking that theyre the best friend of the lead character.
play scripts film
Id love to work in the States; Id love to work anywhere where you get a good script and a good part to play. But I do love British film as well.
attitude twenties knows
The Twenties have this sort of attitude where you never know whats around the corner.
mean people roles
Playing a plainer role means everything is dependent on the credentials of the actor, not the fact that they are as pretty as Julia Roberts. People start to look at their talent rather than their appearance. And playing the ugly part often means less time in the make-up chair, which is a great benefit on set.
good
In a way, it's good not to be recognised as much off screen.
thinking careers gorgeous
I think it must be so hard to start your career with everyone going on about how gorgeous you are. To be in that bracket must be so pressurised.
