accepted bit bullied filled goth mean purple rest school writers
I went to a very mean school and was bullied like crazy. I was a bit of a goth with purple hair, and I was also part of the drama group, which was filled with actors and writers and wasn't really accepted by the rest of the school.
girl school ideas
I was a goth girl in high school. Perhaps the powdered white face and the black lipstick were not the most attractive. I felt fabulous at the time but looking back, uh, probably not the best idea.
gained letters men people rather seems watched
Over the years, it seems 'Firefly' has only gained momentum rather than lost it. I still get letters from people who watched the show - I get more 'Firefly' than 'Mad Men' letters.
joan walked
My husband says, 'What Joan walk? You've always walked that way!'
diets lose mom voluptuous
My mother never said to lose weight. Diets were never a big deal. My mom was always beautiful and voluptuous and curvy, and I always thought she was gorgeous.
jump strong survival tend
I tend to take things personally. But I can only take so much, and then I jump back. I have strong survival skills.
dancer train until worry
I was a dancer until I was 19. I never had to worry about working out or what I ate. So I've really had to train myself to get down to the gym.
creative less people wish
Some people are way less creative than you wish they were.
good grown knowing saw wish
My parents didn't exercise, so it was not something I saw was good for you or fun. I wish I had grown up knowing to do that.
bit cringe cruel deliver hard hope joan lines people says sort time
I would hope that people didn't think I was anything like Joan! It's very hard for me because Joan says such cruel things all the time. It sort of makes me cringe every time I read them because I think, 'Who could be so horrible?' To be able to deliver those lines and do them with a coolness, yet still make her likable, is a bit of a challenge.
call disney
It is so exciting to get a phone call saying you're going to be working on a Disney film.
I think calling me 'full-figured' is just rude.
When the attention started to be about my figure, I was surprised, because it wasn't something I was focused on.
bubble capture face gestures record video voice work
When you're doing voice work, you're in a bubble where you just think about the story and the words. They record you on video while you're doing the voice work, so they capture how your face is moving and the gestures you make.
