Not everyone is completely gorgeous and I want to play people who don't normally have a voice or a presence on screen. I don't consciously choose roles in which I can make myself look really bad." "What they're doing is helping create an image which is fairly unobtainable by the majority of the female population on this planet. I really don't want to help push that.” [on women in the movie/model industry] |
