I Just Don't Know That A Tv

I Didn't Grow Up Identifying With Beauty. I Grew Up Thinking I Could Be Smart And Funny - Those Are The Things I Got Feedback On.

I Definitely Wanted To Be An Actor. I Didn't Want To Be On Tv, I Didn't Want To Be Famous, I Didn't Want To Be Anyone In Particular; I Just Wanted To Do It. I See Young People Now Who Look At Magazines, Or American Idol And Their Goal Is To Have That Lifestyle - To Have Good Handbags, Or Go Out With Cute Guys From Shows, Or Whatever. But I Definitely Wanted To Be An Actor.

I Was Always Torn Between Wanting Whatever I Pictured As A Typical High School Experience And That Being Just A Part I Wanted To Play. I've Written About This, But One Of Those Typical High School Experiences Was Drill Team. Like, I Just Really Wanted To Wear A Uniform And Get On The Bus And Be Part Of This Group. As An Only Child, The Idea Of Blending In - And Literally Everyone Being In Sync And Not Standing Out At All - Felt Like Kind Of A Fun Family Thing.

Writing A Memoir Isn't Particularly Interesting To Me. I'm Not Like Ellen [degeneres], Where I Can Write, 'water Bottles--they're Crazy!' And It's Funny.

Like My Dad, I Have A Christmas Party Most Years. I Like To Celebrate And See As Many People As Possible.
