I like the ritual of putting on my makeup, putting on my costume, doing my warm-ups. I eat the same dinner every night before I go on stage. I like having something that I can count on, something that feels stabilizing for me.

I was a victim of what most people are a victim of, which is really, really just gulping down what was being fed to me by the media.

I played a lesbian reporter in 1964, who was incarcerated, and ended the series as a 75-year-old woman. And then, I was a witch blinded by acid who became the Supreme, and took my mother's energy and life, so that I could live and she would die. And then, I was conjoined twins. And then, I played a heroin addict.

If you heard me sing, you would just plug your ears and run, screaming, the other way. I promise.

I've always really made my living in television. Television has always been so good to me.

I like the ritual of putting on my makeup, putting on my costume, doing my warm-ups. I eat the same dinner every night before I go on stage. I like having something that I can count on, something that feels stabilizing for me.

I do like the immediacy of audience's reaction. I like when I can hear the stillness and I know that they're with us.
