Rapine, avarice, expense, This is idolatry; and these we adore; Plain living and high thinking are no more. ↗

Dorothy Hamill was my big idol as a kid. She'd won the Olympics in 1976. She was America's sweetheart with her personality, her talent, her haircut. ↗

I had this sort of idolatry for certain actors who preceded me, people who inspired me, so I'm honored to be that way for young actors. ↗

I definitely wanted to be an actor. I didn't want to be on TV, I didn't want to be famous, I didn't want to be anyone in particular; I just wanted to do it. I see young people now who look at magazines, or American Idol and their goal is to have that lifestyle - to have good handbags, or go out with cute guys from shows, or whatever. But I definitely wanted to be an actor. ↗

The people who had the most impact on me when I was young were Freud and Darwin, but growing up I also had my film idols. ↗

I've always wanted to play Maria in West Side Story. My idol is Natalie Wood, and I love the movie, so I think a modern-day twist on it would be really neat. ↗

I've never tried to emulate anyone. I've never idolized people, I prefer instead to get off on attitudes. ↗
