I Spent My Whole Life Trying To

Almost Six Years Ago, Before I Was Given The Incredible Opportunity To Be In 'leaving Las Vegas,' I Was Going Through A Long Period Of Artistic Confusion. I'd Spent Years Doing Work That Hadn't Pushed Me Enough, And I Was Beginning To Wonder If I Had Any Talent.

I Did 'the Karate Kid,' Then I Just Went Back To College. I Didn't Know How Much Money It Made And I Didn't Have A Publicist. I Didn't Have Any Sense Of The Business Part Of It.

I Think Because I Was A Mother, It Helped Me Feel Comfortable That Really My Primary Goal There Was To Save My Kids.

It Took A Lot To Get Attention In My Family. No Wonder I'm An Actress.

I Became Disconnected From The Childlike Play That Art Could Be. I Spent So Much Time Fearing I Wasn't Good Enough That I Lost The Sense That My Artistic Expression Was Worthy.
