I Went To A Little

It Is Part Of Me; I Could Definitely Be That If I Wanted To, I Just Choose Not To. I Mean, I Am An Actress At My Core, And I Think We're All A Little Crazy.

I'd Been Out In Los Angeles For About Eight Years, Knocking Around. I Actually, Instead Of Waiting Tables, Worked In Offices As A Temporary Assistant.

I Knew I Wanted To Be An Actor, And I Didn't Necessarily Need Or Want To Be Famous Or A Celebrity Actor. But I Wanted To Be Somewhere Where There Would Be No Ceiling On What I Could Accomplish, And I Felt Like If I Stayed In St. Louis I Might Have A Really Great Regional Theater Career Or Something, But That I Wasn't Going To Be Able To Get Much Further Than That. And It Felt Like New York And L.a. Were The Two Places Where You Could End Up Being A Tv Star Or You Could End Up Doing Regional Theater, Which Would Have Been Fine As Well.

I'm Very Deliberate And I Love Excel Spreadsheets And I Love Five-year Plans And All That. So It Felt Really Fun To Play Someone So Incredibly Different From Myself.

I Got Divorced, After Having Been Married For Almost Eight Years. That Is A Very Life-altering Experience. There's A Period Of Time That You Go Through, Where You're Having To Adjust To Knowing Yourself And Knowing Who You Are From Being A Couple To Being An Individual Again.
