My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough.' That became my mantra.
Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They're not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavoury.

If you don't control your emotions, your emotions will control your acts, and that's not good.
