Honestly, after doing a TV show for eight years and a cartoon for more than a decade, you are, financially speaking, in a very lucky position where you don’t have to work for the sake of working. And I decided to take advantage of that.
I feel like every role that you take there’s a part of you that obviously feels like you can do it. I don’t know if perfect is the right word because I don’t believe in perfection and I don’t think it exists but I think striving to do something well is in every single part.
People strive to achieve a certain form of perfection constantly and it’s impossible because it’s a form of opinion. I can think someone is pretty but the person next to me can think that they’re unattractive.
I came to America when I was seven and a half in 91. I think the first full length book in English that I read was Return to Oz when I was nine years old.
Women innately have this weird thing where they try to have a perfect persona – to look perfect, be perfect, act perfect, have their kids look a certain way. Women put so much pressure on themselves.
I don’t necessarily put on an act when I go on Jay Leno or dress differently in public than I do in private. I’d like to think I’m the same person, more or less.
