"I never dared to even think about it before—who’s got time to think when you gotta survive? But now I want to be an artist, pardon the expression, a real actress. I don’t care about the money and the fame, although I’m not knocking it, but like the man says, ‘Life’s not written on dollar bills,’ right?
