My Path Was To Be

Yippee! I Can't Believe I Made It. It Feels Like A Long Haul To Get Here. I'm So Fine With It. People Want You To Have Some Sort Of Breakdown, But I'm Relieved To Be 40 Years Old, And I've Lived A Life.

I Didn't Do So Well In The Academic World, So I Think The Only Way I Could Express Myself Was Through Visual Art - Anything I Could Get My Hands On, Whether It Was Glassblowing, Sculpture, Painting, Or Photography. I Always Wanted To Be A Painter. Or A Farmer.

I Think You Put Art Out Into The World, And Sometimes It's Divisive, Sometimes It's Embraced. Sometimes People Cry, Laugh Or Have Complicated Reactions.

Dealing With These Emotions As An Actress Is Like Being A Boxer Put Into The Ring.

I Never Knew I'd Be In A Musical, Let Alone Win An Award For One.
