| Quotes: |
I used to go home at night and just shake, because I had no idea that's what acting was gonna be.
<br />
<hr>
I hate it when people say, Mary Elizabeth, this may be hell, but the movie is going to be sooo good.
<br />
<hr>
Hollywood is run by men who are big on vulnerability.
<br />
<hr>
Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They're not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavory.
<br />
<hr>
I do need to be told when I'm going wrong. No one's acting can be an exact, 100 percent science. |
