I don't see myself as competing with other actresses. I mean, I went through a time when I was in New York, and I was going to lots of auditions and trying to get parts, but even then, you're not really competing with the other actresses. There is a competition going on, but it's not like something you can win in that way.

We need to become good citizens in the global village, instead of competing. What are we competing for - to drive more cars, eat more steaks? That will destroy the world.

You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.
When I went back to New York with somewhat of a name, they didn't want movie actresses.

We can't worry about competition. Besides, you aren't competing with anyone but yourself. They have nothing to do with whether you make a good movie or not.

I'm ambitious but I'm not particularly competitive. I'll try to get roles, as I think it's healthy to go for things, but... I think there's too much competition between women already. It's important to have female solidarity and support each other and other actresses.

I'm writing a novel about two actresses who go to New York, because that's what I know about. One has lost touch with reality, disappears and is picked up by a man.

You have to compete with others in the field. Sometimes the competition gets pretty fierce because you're competing for funds or grants to do your work, the financial work.

Gossip Magazines
When the actresses show everything
from conception to delivery,
with verve and pleasure
to enlighten the ignorant mass,
why the gossip magazines
spread rumours about
the riveting sagas
of love affairs and flirts
of the stars of the tinsel world,
politics and of those in the clutches
of the sages and saints
doing penance in ashrams
to purge the sins of others?
The boys drooled over
the topless photos of the movie stars
a decade back in lonely places.
Now they see, relish
all the performing actresses
in the nets and cell phones and iPods.
No chance for drooling!
