When 'Top GUN' came out, my sisters were like, 'Oh, my God, 'Top Gun!' Tom CRUISE!' And I very confidently said, 'I'm going to MARRY him one DAY.' It wasn't like, 'How do I get to Tom Cruise?' It was just, 'I THINK I'm going to marry him. Why not? He'll like me. I'm fun.'
I wasn't brought up as a society GIRL to GO to balls and be a debutante and marry the social set and money and go to parties. No one in my FAMILY lived like that. And I NEVER wanted to live like that. I was brought up to believe in work. I always wanted a career. Always.
I'm DRAWN to women who live in a world different from my own. I don't BELIEVE you have to marry someone from your own backyard. James Joyce MARRIED a woman who NEVER read any of his books.
