(edit)
(when she was asked if she was exposed to feminism)
Elisabeth: My mom had started to go to work when I was nine or ten, so I was aware of women trying to find their own identities by working. But I was still influenced by men to such an extreme. I wanted to play their games and wanted to compete in their world and be like them. (edit) (about what attracted her to acting)
Elisabeth: I used to have a very political answer to that question. I'd say it was a way to make money to pay for my education. And now, after years of therapy, I see it was a desperate need to express my own individuality. Growing up with three boys in a heavily male-dominated world, I especially needed to express myself as a woman. (edit) (about how she was in her childhood)
Elisabeth: I don't know if that's really true. Sometimes when I read about my rebellion in print it sounds a little overrated. (edit) Elisabeth: I may look like the girl next door, but you wouldn't want to live next door to me. (edit) (about the 1988 movie 'Cocktail')
Elisabeth: If I'd known that it was just going to be about these guys throwing drinks around then I might have had some second thoughts... (edit)
