Archers Are Pretty Focused.

An Eye-opening Moment In My Life, A Very Defining Moment, Was The First Time I Met Susan Sarandon [before Shooting Thelma & Louise]. We Were Going To Meet, Just Ridley [scott] And Susan And I, To Go Through The Script And See If We Had Any Thoughts Or Ideas. I Was Reading The Script, And In The Most Girly Way Possible, Meaning That If It Was A Line That Could Change Or Something Different I'd Like To See, I Would Think About Each One And Say, "well, This One Can Wait Till The Set Because I Don't Want To Bring Up Too Many Things."

When It Came Time For College, I Told My Parents I Was Going To Major In Acting. And They Were So Removed From Anything To Do With Show Business - My Dad Built Our House And My Mom Grew Our Food.

Archers Are Pretty Focused.

I Had A Pretty Poor Self-image For A Long Time. I Broke Into Acting As A Model In New York. I Was Never Anything Like A "supermodel," But I Made A Living At It For A Couple Years. The Thing Was, I Was Convinced That I Was Tricking Everyone Into Thinking I Was Attractive.

I Wanted To Take Up A Sport The Real Way And See If I Actually Had Athletic Ability. And Then I Happened To See It Was During The Atlanta Olympics. And There Was A Lot Of Coverage Of Archery Because The U.s. Men's Team Won All The Medals. And I Thought, "wow, That's Beautiful. And It's So Dramatic, A Beautiful Sport. And I Wonder If I Would Be Good At It?"
