You Have Good Days And

I Would Love To Someday Do A Play. I Did One When I Was Very Young In San Francisco, Where I Grew Up. A Girl Can Dream.

How I Was Raised Was, There Were No Rules - Nothing Like That. If I Wanted To Take A Drug Because I Was In School And Everybody Was Doing It, I Could Go To My Parents And Say, "i Really Want To Try This." And They'd Say, "if You Do This, O.k., But This Is What Can Happen To You..." They'd Say, "don't Get It In The Streets, Because It Could Be Really Bad And Make You Freak Out. Don't Take It In A Crowded Place, Because You'll Panic."

There's A Scene [in The 1990 Film Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael] In My Bedroom Where I Start Eating Almond Roca. I Was So Young. It Was Before I Knew The Tricks Of Moviemaking, And I Didn't Know You Shoot A Lot Of Different Angles. I Gobbled Them And Didn't Realize I Had To Keep Doing It. So I Had To Eat 64 Almond Roca That Day. I Got So Sick. In The Beginning You're Like, 'ooh, That Looks Good.' But Hours Later, No.

When You Finally Accept That It's Ok Not To Have Answers And It's Ok Not To Be Perfect, You Realize That Feeling Confused Is A Normal Part Of What It Is To Be A Human Being.

I Think I Really Scored With My Parents. All Of My Friends Pretty Much Came From Broken Homes, And My Parents Are Still Together, But Not Only That, They're Still In Love And Still Write Together.
