Also, it was a cultural moment that wasn't being represented in terms of women who were successful and had choices they didn't have before. They needed a show that they can watch that they felt like represented them.

I may not be perfect, but I'm trying.

I just loved being in the theatre with all those crazy, creative people.

Holidays do bring out the craziness in everyone. This time of year tends to being out the insanity in otherwise normal people.

Sometimes, when you're acting, you are so in the moment that you don't even remember what just happened.

In South Africa one in four women have AIDS. When you are there it is shocking. So many people are dying from the disease and the same number are getting the disease each year. My main goal was to learn and call attention to some of the things that were happening.

I'm just happy when people want me to work for them.
