I used to think no one should go into show biz, but now I feel differently. I now feel like it's a great career. If you can do it and make money at it and still not be so famous that you can have a normal life - then I think it's a great career.

I resigned myself to the fact that I would probably never be published and if I did it probably wouldn't be a big deal. -
People should recognize who you are and how you can act rather then how famous you are.
