I really like grammar. And spelling. I was a spelling-bee kid. I'm hard-core about grammar.

I had massive anxiety as a child. I was in therapy. From 8 to 10, I was borderline agora-phobic. I could not leave my mom's side. There was a lot of fear, but it was also very exciting.

I'm not a writer. I haven't written anything.

I think Skeeter even says that when she calls up Miss Stein. "No one asked Mammy how she feels in Gone With The Wind." Mammy wasn't really much of a fleshed-out character. She was just kind of there to take care of Miss Scarlett.

My great goal in life is to try to remember that everything is of equal value.

I always loved acting and improv and sketch comedy and theater, which I did at a local youth theater.

My mother has always been my emotional barometer and my guidance. I was lucky enough to get to have one woman who truly helped me through everything.
