My Dad Had Even Hired An Accompanist

I Went To The University Of Georgia For A Year Before I Left, And Then I Went To Live With Eileen Ford In New York For The Modeling Agency. I Thank God I Could Do That Because All The Other Kids Were Getting Jobs Doing Other Things, And When I Got To New York, I Was Very Blessed. I Didn't Have To Stop And Be A Waitress. I Started Making Money At A Very Young Age And Was Just Very Lucky.

I've Been So Blessed Because I've Had Such Longevity. I'm Not A Big Red Carpet Girl. But I Love The Work. In This Business, You Can Be At The Top Of The World And At The Bottom Of The Barrel, And You're Grape Juice. I've Been At Both Ends. It Can Make You Become What You Really Are.

I Didn't Really Like My Birthday As A Kid. My Mother Used To Say, "sometimes We'd Have A Birthday Party And You Would Just Wander Off." But She Said It Was Just My Way In The World. It Wasn't Anything That I Was Truly Interested In.

There's A Certain Amount Of Empathy You Need To Have, And I've Also Never Been One To Call It In. I Know Some Roles Are Easier For Certain People, Especially When There's The Sequel And A Third And A Fourth One.

I've Played A Mother Many Times, Even In Tragic Things Like, "i Dreamed Of Africa," So I Know How It Is To Lose A Child Cinematically. I Have So Much Compassion On So Many Fronts, For Women Who Have Lost Children Or Tried For Years And Couldn't Have Them.
