My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.

I'm the character actor in Hollywood movies, the girl who has to be annoying so the guy can go to the other girl.

I'm trying to work in studio movies, but they won't hire me.

I've gotten to portray things in [Christopher Guest's] movies that I wouldn't have in others.

Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.

You're talking to someone, to a reader, and you get to express in the way you want to. And you get to play with it. It's kind of like acting, but it's on paper.

I've done a lot of crafts in my day. I learned how to do pottery, yoga... and I just wanted to share and talk and write.
