DISCLAIMER
I met a journalist for lunch today, I don't understand why but they seem to be extremely surprised when they see me. They never fail to tell me I look like a Joan Jett/college student with the glasses and the tattoo's and whatnot. That might mean that I'm trapped in the 80's and someone needs to get me out of here, or that I really look a LOT younger than I am.
It's nice, I'm not really complaining because I know that looking younger is something many wish for, not looking like a young-me, just looking younger.
The interview went quite well despite the fact that the interviewer was a young girl with serious speech impediments. I don't mean to sound annoying or anything but aren't journalists supposed to have a vast use of the english language? Or at least not say "Whoa, cool, awsome, sweet, like" more than once in the same sentence? Just a thought. Anyway, just when I thought I was going to finally get out of a meeting with another human being without being asked THAT question, it happened...
"Woah, it must have been really cool to be in that film, and you know...kiss Ben Chaplin, and like...whoa! Be chosen OVER Uma Thurman."
Ok...so here I go again.
Firstly, it's a "movie"...with "actors". The "actors" are paid to learn a script, and "act" it, this is what we do. This is what we get paid for. So I didn't FEEL anything. However, the repetitive apperance of this question after eight years reminds me of playing that character in particular. And that reminds me that sometimes no matter how nice, or funny, or witty or talented you might be, for some people it'll never be enough if all that doesn't come (and to quote said movie) in a certain package.
It doesn't always end nicely. We don't usually get the boy. And if we do, it's never Ben Chaplin. (HAH!)
So yeah, I could go on and on about this, but frankly, I would find myself to be dull and annoying, even more so than usual. I just needed to get THAT out of my system.
