In Britain, an attractive woman is somehow suspect. If there is talent as well, it is overshadowed. Beauty and brains just can't be entertained someone has been too extravagant.

I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.

I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give you pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing.
