One thing I really want to explore is writing.

I'll accept being Phoebe to people for a while longer, given how much fun it was. That's totally fair.

I just want to start writing, whether or not any of it is useable or marketable.

On network TV, I'm still Phoebe to people, and it would be hard to convince them otherwise in the bright lights of a sitcom.

My hair got lighter, and I gradually went blonde. I liked it. Had more fun. But my image of myself in my head is this dark-haired person.

I have no affectation when I speak

[Detractors] are just wrong, and that's okay. They just don't see it yet. That's what I would tell myself to keep those moments of doubt, only moments.
