There Is A Certain Androgyny To My

People Tend To Remember My Performances, Not Me.

It Is Clear I Was Never The Pretty Girl. I Had My Two Front Teeth Knocked Out When I Was 10 And Didn't Fix Them Until I Was 19. I Have A Crooked Smile And A Nose That Looks Like It's Been Broken 12 Times But Never Has Been. My Nose Was Always Red, So People Called Me Rudolph. My Whole Face Is Off-center.

I Was Trained By Method Acting Teachers And We Were Taught That Aside From Whatever Gift You May Or May Not Have Or The Level Of That Gift, That You Were Obliged To Know How To Build A Table. It's A Craft. It's Like Being A Ballerina Or A Violinist.

I'm Method Trained. How Is This Character Like Me? What Does She Think Of Her Mother? What Does Her Mother Think Of Her? It's Like Construction, And Then, Yes, You Hope You're Talented And That The Universe Aligns And Captures The Kind Of Laborer's Work You've Done And Whatever Else Sprinkles Down On You, And It's All Caught On Film Or Onstage.

I Eat Cheese And Salami And A Lot Of Fried Chicken. I Eat A Big Bag Of Oatmeal-raisin Cookies Every Night And I Don't Gain Weight. I Still Look Ok As Long As I'm Dressed.
