I Really Came Out To

I Think It Became Blurry Because I Grew Up In A Very Private Family. I Mixed Privacy And Secrecy Up Somewhere Along The Line. Everything Became A Secret, And I Thought That Was How You Should Live. Lying About Everything. The Mask I Put On As A Kid To Survive Was The Funny Lady. Then The Funny Person All Of A Sudden Became Harder To Do Without Substances. Substances Let Me Keep The Mask On Longer. Until It Doesn't Work Anymore And You're Just A Mess.

I'd So Much Rather People Think I Was Funny Than Pretty.

I Think Janeane Garofalo Is Incredibly Funny, And I Love Dennis Miller.

My Way Was Not To Be The Petite, Gorgeous, Little Cheerleader. My Way Of Getting By Was Making People Laugh.

I Was Born In Washington, D.c., And I Was Raised In Milwaukee.
