Sometimes you're so nervous about piloting something that you could probably just not empower others to finish what they're supposed to.
Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves with any kind of job we have that we kind of forget that we do this because it's supposed to be fun because we love it.
My dad had a couple of professions in mind for me. He either wanted me to be a doctor because he said male doctors make a lot of money, or he wanted me to be a soccer player. Myself, I thought that I would really love being a pilot for the Air Force. I really wanted to be a part of the Air Force.
It's okay to start over again.
I actually didn't read the book [Fast Food Nation]. I wasn't aware of it. But when I read the script, I thought "Wow." It became a project that was just so exciting to be a part of. Maybe a few times in a career [you] get a chance for a role that really means something, and this was it.
I think psychology would be an easy transition and figuring out the human mind somehow.
You do some things and you just hope people will laugh.
For me, I understood the gift of being able to empower others and to not do everything yourself.
For me, honestly, I'm an actor. There's one thing I know how to do - act. And that's all I know how to do. Through our work, [actors] can trigger awareness.
I was always wondering why the first ten minutes of eating fast food is heavenly and then after those ten minutes you start feeling like s**t?
Honestly, Ive been very blessed. Yes, I am cursed with this gift.
I play opposite Beverly D'Angelo, and that was definitely a great time.
I got hit twice in the face, and that was not fun.
When I was 10 years old, we'd pick out a cow and boom! They'd hit it in the head with a hammer, lift it up by the back legs, and skin it in front of us. Then I'd take the head home and make soup
Mandy because that was the most meaningful relationship.
