case found incredibly longing peripheral sink teeth
In the case of 'News Radio,' I loved that show. I loved the actors and the producers, but I was longing very much for something more to sink my teeth into me. I think it was an incredibly smart show, but I found myself on the peripheral of a lot of it.
suddenly worse
There's nothing worse than having a very strong female character and then suddenly having it go away.
entire
I had always done theater during the entire six years I was with 'CSI: Miami.'
opportunity thinking suffering
I think, often times, it's the audience that suffers when a show isn't given the opportunity to have a beginning, middle and end.
roots want comedic
I have deep comedic roots, and I want to be funny.
laughing comedy
I like comedy, I love it very much, I love laughing.
jobs home people
People come into work and actually go home to their families. They want to go there and explore and have a good time, but they also want to go home, which is the best kind of working environment. You go in and do your job, and then you go home and enjoy your life.
blessed divine feels
Talk about divine intervention. I can't even tell you how blessed I feel.
heart order careers
So the only things I was being allowed to audition for were small roles in comedies. It broke my heart. No one would see me for anything else. I knew, in order to open up my career, I had to leave or that's all I would ever be given.
years two giving
I said, 'I'll give myself two years. If I can't support myself as an actress within two years, then I'll go back to choreography.'
actresses method
I'm not a method actress.
balance needs hiatus
This hiatus coming up I'm looking at a comedy because I need the balance.
teaching done arena
I feel that the work that I have done in the comedy arena, is priceless in terms of what I learned, timing, everything that these incredibly talented performers were generous enough in teaching me.
thinking giving people
I don't like to be pigeonholed; I don't like when people won't see me for something because they don't think I can do it. I always feel like, at least give me the shot.
