When you're that tall, people talk about it all the time.

I like people-watching and fading into crowds.

I'm a strong person, but I'd never resort to violence.

I've always just gone with the best role, and I don't care if it's in theater, film or television.

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 was a full foot taller than any child my age.

My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh.
