I'm A Believer In The Parent First,

I Went To A Little Liberal-arts College In Missouri Called Truman State University.

I Spent My Whole Adolescence, When You Just Want To Be Accepted, Looking Much Younger Than Everyone Else.

Finally, I Was Called For "the Office" And I Was Really Lucky, Because A Lot Of The Shows That I Went Out For I Would Work My Way Up From, Like, An Audition With The Casting Director To The Director To The Producers To The Studio, I'd Go Through Seven Auditions, And Then They'd Give The Role To A Famous Actress.

I Think That There Is A Tragic Misfit At The Core Of Me, And I've Just Done A Lot Of Work On Myself. I Love A Good Self-help Book; I've Read A Ton Of Them. I Love Self-help Seminars And Therapy And All That. I Think That Probably, At My Core, If I Had Done No Work On Myself, I Would Probably Be Laura From The Mysteries Of Laura, But I Worked Hard To Be A More Stable Person Because That's What I Wanted Out Of My Life.

Sometimes Doing A Movie For A Short Period Of Time Is Better Than Committing Eight Months To A Television Show.
