I'm Lucky Enough That Directors Sometimes Seek

There Was A Television Show Called The Innocents Of Hollywood. Brooke Shields Is A Friend Of Mine And She Saw One Of The Introductions To It, And She Called Me And Said, "i Think You Better Check This Out." And On This Show They Talked About Parents Who'd Ripped Off Their Kids. One Of Them Said, "my Mother Stole $300,000 From Me As A Child." Well, My Mother Opened A Bank Account For Me When I Made $60 On My First Day Of Work As An Extra. She's That Kind Of Mother. But God Knows What People Will Say When This Movie Comes Out.

Unfortunately, Overall, Movies Are A Conglomerate. People Buy And Sell People In This Business, Which Can Get Really Ugly Unless You Have The Right Set Of Values And Understand Why You're Doing It. Luckily, I Was Raised By People Who'd Already Gotten To That Point, And Seen All The Yuck Stuff - Which Is Probably Why They Originally Didn't Want Me To Act.

I Do Think My Mother Was A Bit Overprotective, Not In Any Sordid Way, But Just Normally. She Certainly Might Say To Me, "you Know, Laura, I Don't Have A Good Feeling About That Guy. I Don't Know If I Want You To Go Out With Him."

I Knew You Had To Go In And Audition And Maybe They'd Hire You, And That's Where You Start. I Had A Good Understanding About Press: That It's The Actor's Responsibility To Publicize His Or Her Films.
