My Job As An Actress Is To

I Was One Of Seven, And We Took A Lot Of Road Trips - Long Road Trips. And This Was Before Iphones And Ipads And Dvd Players In Cars. I Remember How Novel It Was When I Got My Own Walkman So I Could Listen To Music.

I Saw Some Musicals At Dinner Theaters Where I Grew Up. But I Didn’t Go To A Big Theater To See One Until Probably After I Graduated From High School When I Took Myself To See Tommy When It Was On Tour. I Absolutely Loved It.

I Always Had A Larger View. I'm Interested In Real Life - My Family, My Friends. I Have Tried Never To Define Myself By My Success, Whatever That Is. My Happiness Is Way Beyond Roles And Awards.

I Grew Up As A Mormon, And That Had More Of An Impact On My Values Than My Beliefs. I'm Afraid I Will Always Feel The Weight Of A Lie. I'm Very Hard On Myself Anyway. Religious Guilt Carries Over Too. You Can't Really Misbehave Without Feeling Badly About It. At Least, I Can't.

One Of My Least Favorite Things About Being Even Remotely Recognizable Is That I'm Not Allowed To Watch In The Same Way Anymore. You Try Not To Hide From The World Because You Want To Still Participate And Still Be Inspired By What's Around You.
