I Have A Lot Of Different Influences.

Singing Is An Incredible Expression And Something That Is Important To Me, But Where I Feel Comfortable With How Much I Reveal About Myself Is Acting. I Enjoy The Characters, The Costumes, The Wigs And Just Being A Chameleon.

I Had Started Acting When I Was 7, And I Was Always Wrong. I Would Always Get To The Very End [of The Audition], But I Wasn't A Perfect Package Of One Thing. I Wasn't A Cliche, And It Always Worked Against Me. I Wasn't Pretty Enough To Play The Popular Girl, I Wasn't Mousy Enough To Be The Mousy Girl. Then There Was A Tv Show That Toni Collette Was Starring In. And When A Role To Play A Girl Who Was Struggling With Identity Came, I Thought: "oh, This Is What I Was Supposed To Do. Everything's Leading Up To This Moment." I Was 18. I Was Like, "this Is It." I Didn't Get It. And I Was Devastated.

I'm Sure That There's Frustration That Comes With Wanting To Just Have A Normal Mom. But, I Don't Really Know If They See It As Any Different Than Any Other Problem You Might Have With A Parent. I Think Everybody Can Think About One Thing That Their Parents Used To Do, All The Time, That Would Embarrass You.

You Know How It Is When You Put On Your Best Friend's Shirt. You Feel Weird, Even If Everyone Tells You That It Looks Good. You Know That It Isn't Right.

I Didn't Go To Prom - I Was Homeschooled.
