Looking Back - I Did Have A

One Thing You Have To Have When You Act Is Energy.

I Was Inspired By Lots Of People, Certainly In Acting And In Writing And Stuff, But I Never Wanted To Be Somebody Else.

My Parents Really Instilled This Idea In Me Of Being Your Own Person, Almost To The Extent That I Couldn't Do Wrong. I'd Get A Bad Grade And They'd Be Like, "no! What You Did Was Great!"

I Will Say, Though, That San Francisco Is A Very Friendly City. It's The Kind Of Place Where People Smile At You And You Can Strike Up Conversations On The Street, So There's Always An Adjustment When I Come Back To New York. If I Smile At Someone On The Street In New York, Then They Think There's Something Up - Like, "why Is She Smiling?"

There Are Actors I Know Personally, Or I've Heard Them Say, "the Less Known About Me, The Better, Because I Just Want People To Think Of Me As The Character." I Think Matt Damon Said That Recently. He Has A Point And I Think I Get That.
