depends fantasy good guess lives living question time
That's a really good question - what is it like living with a writer? I guess it depends on the writer. You know what? They live in a fantasy world a lot of the time. My husband lives in a fantasy world.
age certain high life remember school time
I can say that when you model,when you get to a certain age, that's it for you. I remember there was a time where I was like, 'What am I going to do with my life?' I am a high school dropout who's only modeled. So there was desperation with that.
hope quite time
I had to fend for myself from the time I was 17 years old. I was a high-school dropout. I wasn't quite living on the streets, but I didn't have a lot of hope.
bad hard people themselves
Unfortunately, I think depression and anxiety are really hard to live with. And what people don't need is to feel bad about themselves because they decide to go on medication.
mom
My mom said my whole childhood... was stop and go.
airplane care ends friend help helped inspector lovely mom moved worked
My mom worked for Lockheed Corp. in Burbank as an inspector of airplane parts. To help make ends meet, Dee, a friend of my mom's from Lockheed, moved in. She was a lovely person and helped with our care for many years.
I think I was pigeonholed pretty early on. And I started late in my career. I was 33.
burst listening
I wasn't going to say this, but I was just listening to Rosie O'Donnell and I have to tell you, I wanted to burst into tears,
best romantic
I would have loved to do romantic comedies. That's what I think I would be best at.
days five work
I work out five days a week for 20 minutes; I only do one body part a day.
crappy early films
I think early in my career, I didn't choose films that were crappy films, necessarily, but I didn't go out and campaign for smaller, better roles.
I think acting is something that came natural.
I never thought I could model, and I certainly never thought about acting. It's just something that happened to me.
school
I didn't know who Avedon was. I was 18 years old. I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade. I had no idea.
