I think it's bizarre and tragic how society pushes us to say we are what we are because of the job we do. The question "what do you do" really means what do they pay you for, as if that's your defining characteristic. Everything else is a "hobby." But those are also things you are and do. Just because you don't make money at it doesn't mean you're not doing it. It's as valid as going to the office, maybe more so.

Later I'd find out that other actresses had been warned what could happen when the studio head summoned you to a meeting. Completely unbeknownst to me, an industry newbie, this hideous beast had a long track record of preying on young women. Sadly it seemed everyone in Hollywood on the business side knew that if you got summoned to a meeting it was probably going to go differently than you expect.

Before I could retest they hired Neve Campbell, an actress with dark hair. I thought Oh, God. They're never going to hire me now because I have dark hair too. Those are the rules...because you know, you can only multiple females on screen if they have different hair colors, because otherwise, they think the audience is too stupid to tell them apart.

Starving made me feel a fuzzed kind of high. I remember thinking that at least I was superior to heroin addicts because I was high for free. Yeah, that's how you want to go around gathering your self esteem, from your superiority to heroin addicts.

I looked in the mirror again...wondered why before when I had been in another state I'd have things thrown at me, and here I was being anointed with instant popularity. I thought about it deeply and came to the conclusion that other human's reactions were useless to me. Ultimately it allowed me to cancel out what other people thought of me. Later on, when fame came, this deduction probably saved my sanity.

My life altered irrevocably the day I turned into a pixel, and beamed up to an orbiting satellite, beamed back down, blasted across living rooms, bedrooms, lives. My job was to take you away from your struggles for a while, to make ypu feel empathy, to make you feel at all. I took my job seriously.
