...You don't always get what you expect. I wish someone, sometime when I was growing up, would have told me what expectations would get me. ...

I don't want to say, 'This is where Im going to be in five years and Im going to get there no matter what.' I want to leave it open. I'm not a desperate actress dying to star in a B movie in a bikini. ↗
