#acting

Everyone has a different path. I knew no one in the acting industry growing up. I never did a play until college. I was not outspoken when I was younger and I hated being the center of attention. But I had a dream of being an actor. I went to NYU and studied theatre. I learned a craft. And began my career straight out of college. ↗

My advice has always been to study the craft of acting if you want to be an actor. There are many great schools that teach acting. NYU being one of them. ↗

Having been an actor and a writer for so long - 20 years or so - I felt that it would be daft to go to one's grave without having directed. It's a natural extension of writing and acting, and so I knew it would happen one day. ↗

I wanted to act; that was my one goal. I wanted to devote all my time to acting and not waitressing or anything else. ↗

I was able to support myself by acting alone about six years ago. Until then, I was just scraping by. ↗

My friends started having children after college, while I was pursuing this crazy acting career and living hand to mouth. Plus, all my boyfriends were artists struggling to make a living. Having kids didn't make any sense - why would I take on more of a financial burden when I couldn't even afford a dog? ↗

One of the things I want to do that's outside the realm of acting and the arts - although both have their place in this - is ending childhood hunger here in America. ↗

Whether it's acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life. ↗

Very often the Group actor is a critic when he's acting and an actor when he's criticizing. ↗

I still have agents in France, Los Angeles and Amsterdam who call and suggest parts. I'd love to keep on doing both painting and acting until the end of my days. ↗
