Be Who You Like As Long As

I Don't Avoid Anyone But I Always Think Some People Hate Me.

I Wouldn't Do My Roles If I Really Hated It. I've Done Things I Hated, But I Didn't Go Into Them Thinking I Would Hate Them. I Want To Have Fun. I Don't Want To Go To Work And Not Enjoy It. So If I'm Swirling Around On Some Wires, Talking To Fred Flintstone, I Make It The Funnest I Can. I Also Want To Be Good At It. I Don't Want To Be A Crap Cartoon Character. I Want To Be Proud I'm A Vitamin!

I've Actually Found - Especially Doing My Cabaret Show - I'm Connecting With People In A Way I Haven't Connected With Them. I've Found That When You're Open And Honest, People Respond To That, Whatever You're Being Open And Honest About. You Could Then, When You Lay That As The Groundwork, Say, "here I Am. This Is What I Think. I Come In Peace." Then You're Able To Push Out, To Be Able To Talk About More Things. And That's Been A Really Heartening Thing About My Life, Actually.

I'd Been Depressed Before, Of Course. But I'm Talking About Really Depressed. Not Just Feeling A Bit Down Or Sad, A Depression That Has Something To Do With Biorhythms. I'm Talking About The Kind Of Depressed That Floats In Upon You Like A Fog. You Can Feel It Coming And You Can See Where It Is Going To Take You But You Are Powerless, Utterly Powerless To Stop It. I Know Now.

I Think American Actors Are Much More Intimidated By Shakespeare.
