I Was A Victim Of What Most

I Have Been Sitting Around Waiting For An Opportunity To Get To Do Something That Matters For So Long. Not Just That Matters In The World, Which I Think That Season, In Particular, Had A Very Important Meaning For A Lot Of People, But For Me, As An Actress.

I Like The Ritual Of Putting On My Makeup, Putting On My Costume, Doing My Warm-ups. I Eat The Same Dinner Every Night Before I Go On Stage. I Like Having Something That I Can Count On, Something That Feels Stabilizing For Me.

I Played A Lesbian Reporter In 1964, Who Was Incarcerated, And Ended The Series As A 75-year-old Woman. And Then, I Was A Witch Blinded By Acid Who Became The Supreme, And Took My Mother's Energy And Life, So That I Could Live And She Would Die. And Then, I Was Conjoined Twins. And Then, I Played A Heroin Addict.

All Of My Friends Went To College And I Got A Job At Circle Pizza, Where I Worked For 24 Hours. I Had To Call My Mother Four Times To Ask Her How To Spell Parmesan. I'm Not Kidding. I Was A Terrible Speller. I Think I Was Really Nervous That I Somehow Didn't Feel Right Out In The World In That Way.

I Was A Victim Of What Most People Are A Victim Of, Which Is Really, Really Just Gulping Down What Was Being Fed To Me By The Media.
