I Went To A High School That Was By The Beach. I Elected To Do Bussing My Junior High School Years. And My First Year Of High School, I Would Take The Bus From My Neighborhood To The Beach Schools. And At Those Schools, You Had Such A Mix Of So Many Types Of Kids.

I Can Work Inside The Boundaries Of Erika Murphy, Or Whoever The Character Is. It's Fun To Create Somebody That's Not You, That Doesn't Exist.
