I Spent 10 Years In New York

Right Now One In Three Teenagers Meets The Medical Criteria For Addiction, Which Is Scary. I'm So Driven Because When I Walked Into Rehab, I Was Like, "am I Still Drunk? Did The Guys Give Me The Wrong Address? Am I At A Summer Camp?" And It Kills Them. Deaths Attributed To Drugs And Alcohol Have Overtaken All Other Emergency-room Deaths.

I Think It Became Blurry Because I Grew Up In A Very Private Family. I Mixed Privacy And Secrecy Up Somewhere Along The Line. Everything Became A Secret, And I Thought That Was How You Should Live. Lying About Everything. The Mask I Put On As A Kid To Survive Was The Funny Lady. Then The Funny Person All Of A Sudden Became Harder To Do Without Substances. Substances Let Me Keep The Mask On Longer. Until It Doesn't Work Anymore And You're Just A Mess.

I Spent 10 Years In New York Doing Theater.

I Was Born In Washington, D.c., And I Was Raised In Milwaukee.

I Was Voted Biggest Ham And Likeliest To Become A Celebrity.
