I've worked really hard to bring something more to 'pretty girl' roles over the years. I consider it a challenge.
I buy records - vinyl. I have a record player at home.
Models are just mannequins seeking validation at the hands of sleazy fashion people.
I've got a soft spot for true individuals.
I get tickets all the time and can't stay under the speed limit. I'm bad at that.
I get a stack of scripts, like, once a month, and most of the time, you find these placeholder girls that are there to provide a bounce for the male character. So we know he's funny because she's serious and she's mad at him. We know he's strong because she needs saving. So really, her job is to validate this personality trait of our hero or male.
I don't imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot.
I think I've always had a certain amount of skepticism of this whole 'shut up and smile' theory. I haven't ever swallowed that pill so easily, although I tried.
I'm a huge Hunter S. Thompson fan.
