You can sleep with a blonde, you can sleep with a brunette, but you'll never get any sleep with a redhead!
<br />
<hr>
I love playing the vamp, and I get sent out [to audition] for a lot of that stuff, maybe because I do it well.
<br />
<hr>
It was a lot easier to hide behind the character of the sassy, sexy vixen, whereas this time, I did a lot more tapping into my own feelings, and allowing that to come through.
<br />
<hr>
When you're 22 or 23 you think the world revolves around you, and I felt that way for a long time. But I just turned 30, and I love it! You realize, "Whoa, baby, you ain't all that". And you're not! You're just a woman out there doing something she loves.
<br />
<hr>
I'm getting to know myself. I focused this year on nothing but my craft. I've dealt with a lot of producers and executives, speaking up for what I need and what I want. I never did that before. |
