Quote
1
My life has never been easy. I can't think of one play I have done that was a piece of cake.
2
I'm the queen of the self help section. I'm the only actress I know who has not been on the therapist's couch. Because I'm too cheap!
3
I have been doing other people's plays all my life, and even though I've been doing solo plays, that was just so other people could see that I could be the lead in their plays. When I first wrote "Pretty Fire" it was just so I could get a job in a play where I didn't have to sing.
