I Thought 'out Of Africa' Would Be

I Had An Existential Crisis At The Oscars, Sitting Next To Sean Penn And Meryl Streep, And Being Like, 'what Am I Doing Here? I Don't Belong Here'. I Felt Like It Could All Be Taken Away.

I Always Had A Larger View. I'm Interested In Real Life - My Family, My Friends. I Have Tried Never To Define Myself By My Success, Whatever That Is. My Happiness Is Way Beyond Roles And Awards.

I Was One Of Seven, And We Took A Lot Of Road Trips - Long Road Trips. And This Was Before Iphones And Ipads And Dvd Players In Cars. I Remember How Novel It Was When I Got My Own Walkman So I Could Listen To Music.

That's Always Been My Philosophy: I Try To Just Be As Straightforward As Possible, And Then I Don't Really Have To Question What I Said Or Regret Anything.

In High School, I Was So Painfully Self-aware That How I Thought Of Myself Was Probably Very Different From What Other People Thought Of Me. I Thought Of Myself As Just Painfully Awkward And Dorky. I Had A Lot Of Hair And Was Kind Of Weird. I Sang A Lot In The Hallways.
