At some point we have to stop and say, There's Marlee, not, There's the deaf actress.
The Earth does not belong to us: we belong to the Earth.
YouTube is akin to having my own network.
When it comes down to it, it's about who you know, and who's a fan. It's about whether you're the right age, whether you're hot or not, whether the studio is into you or not.
What parent has it easy? I just never make the difficulty of it an obstacle. I just do it.
