It Was Like I Had A Baby

I Remember My First Meeting With Guillermo Del Toro - He Couldn't Have Been Warmer, But I Always Had A Kind Of Immaturity About Me Dealing With People That Were In Charge. Not Really Knowing How To Conduct Myself. And I Got On The Floor And Curled Up Into A Ball Under A Desk, Which Is So Weird - As I Was Doing It, I Was Like, "oh, My God, You're A Freak. Get Up. What Are You Doing?" And I Looked At Him Like, "i'm So Sorry," And He's Like, "no, It's Natural. Why Wouldn't You Want To Do That?" He's Just The Most Giving Person And Made Me Feel Not Like A Freak.

I Remember The Audition Process For Xena: Warrior Princess; I Was Driving There And I Was Listening To The Cranberries' "dreams," So I Was Thinking Of That Audition Again Recently With The Sudden Passing Of Dolores O'riordan, Cranberries Singer. And I Remember That Song, I Was Like, "okay, I Can Do Anything" As I Was Driving Onto The Lot At Universal.

I Used To Wear A Lot Of Red Lipstick, And When I Got A Pimple, I'd Cover It Up With Eyeliner To Turn It Into A Beauty Mark.

I Think Getting Married Gave Me A Focus. It Gave Me A Focus And Direction I Want To Have In My Life. And I Think Having Another Person That You Make Such A Purposeful Bond With Has Given Me The Opportunity To See How That Can Be With All The Other Aspects Of My Life.

I'm Flatchested, I'm Short, I'm Brunette, I Have Droopy Eyes, And So People Have A Hard Time Casting Me As A 'beauty.'
