, I also was afraid I was a very bad actress, because I'd become famous very fast and was making money for people.
I'd hear, "Because they paid the man, there's no money for the woman." How many times do you think I heard this? Over and over. Then I became a sex symbol.
I had an acting teacher who once told me that you could never really create from comfort. To do well as an actress, you have to push yourself to the edge.
