She replied, "How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn't going in that direction?"

Plus, there's always the opportunity for life's worst moments to become art: "I put it in my work. That's the beauty of what I do. There's a place for some of this to explode, implode, process, discover." Richard Pelham / Getty Images The actor further keeps a journal. "I'm contemplating writing...there's a wealth of things I am compiling in my little psyche," she continued, considering that it may become a "necessity" for her.
