I was an office secretary for a long time. A good secretary.
I like to play a wide range of characters. The more they're unlike me, the better I like it.
I was too practical to major in theater. Acting - what was I going to do with acting? There was no future in it.
I'm happy whenever I'm in a rehearsal room. I've always gotten all my energy and creativity in there.
I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.
I've loved every minute of every hour I've spent doing theatre.
My profession is about as far away from growing up in southern Illinois as you can get.
