I Can't Be A Man. But I

I Think People Have Always Liked In Me The Combination Of Being The Underdog Because I'm A Tiny Woman But I Have Enormous Authority In Myself.

When I Was 16, Nobody Else Talked Like Me. Nobody Else Sounded Like Me.

The World Is What You Make Of It, Friend. If It Doesn’t Fit, You Make Alterations.

Everybody Either Wanted To Take Care Of Me Or Push Me Around, You Know? I Was Teased A Lot, Sure I Was, Of Course. Fourth Grade, Fifth Grade, Sixth Grade, Everybody Was Taking Their Spurts Except Me. I Was Not Growing Up.

For Me To Want To Be An Actor Was An Improbable Idea. I Wasn't Beautiful Or Pretty In Any Conventional Way. I Wasn't An Ingenue At 22. But I Was Always Certain Of It And Certain Of Its Power. I Felt The Power When I Went To The Theater At 9, 10, 12 And 14.
