I would say to an actor new to the business that it’s best to go where you are most comfortable as a person, both in and outside of the business. Becki Newton Read Quote
I started out a die-hard New Yorker but really grew to love working in Los Angeles. Even though I originally wanted to do theater, TV presented more opportunities for me, which led me out west. Becki Newton Read Quote
I’m not afraid to go completely over the top. A lot of people are scared to seem silly or to embarrass themselves, and I really don’t have that at all – I don’t mind making a fool of myself. I like to just have fun and really go for it. Becki Newton Read Quote
After leaving school, I travelled around Europe for about six months. In Denmark, I thought that was my chance to get an amazing haircut, so I went to what I thought was a great hairdresser. It turned out to be the car wash of hairdressers, and I walked out sporting yet another pudding bowl, but this time with a stripe bleached down the centre. Becki Newton Read Quote
Growing up, I had a terrible pudding-bowl haircut. I used to cut it myself, and I’d sew my own clothing, too. I looked a little strange compared to the other kids. But the thing was, I felt I looked amazing, so what other people thought never bothered me. Becki Newton Read Quote
As an actress, one of the perks is having access to ridiculously expensive clothing and prancing around on the red carpet. Who wouldn’t want to have fun with that? Becki Newton Read Quote
I read fashion magazines all the time. It’s fun, but I don’t take it very seriously. Becki Newton Read Quote
My husband is in charge of all phone, email and texting duties at home. He even has to turn on the TV and air conditioning because I’m so hopeless with technology. Becki Newton Read Quote
I really enjoy playing a sex symbol, but it’s not something I feel in real life. I’m much more of a natural girl at home. Becki Newton Read Quote
Normally, it’s one or the other – a pretty, straight woman or a more charactery woman who isn’t supposed to be attractive. But women like Tina Fey are leading the charge on being both. You can be funny and attractive. Becki Newton Read Quote
