We have in my country (Russia) a quotation: "It is impossible to make out of apology a fur coat.
I am not someone who can be fooled by praise at all. In fact, I quickly sniff out people who are being fake with me. It doesn't go unnoticed with me.
Sure, I've done movies in which I was embarrassed by my performance, or might not have cared for a co-star. Then I'd have to tell lies, like, 'Oh, we love each other; everything was perfect!'
If I say, 'Oh nice,' about seven times in the same show, things aren't going well.
She's perfect, so flawless, I'm not impressed.
People think, 'Wow, you're an actress, so people must be really nice to you and kiss your ass.' NOBODY kisses my ass.
I've been an audience member for friends in plays that I don't enjoy and I have to lie to their faces. It's just part of that lifestyle unfortunately, especially in New York.
With hardly any effort at all, she made me feel special. Just like all the other people she toyed with.
You know how people say awards don't mean anything? Hello! I think the energy around them makes everyone cuckoo.
You ask if you look good and you know people are lying. It was a depressing thing to experience. I was going to these parties where I used to be ignored and then all of a sudden people are paying attention to me.
