You Know, One Of My Biggest Dreams

Costume Designers Don't Care About Trends. They Appreciate, Above So Many Other Qualities, That Tailoring Is Everything, Which Is A Mantra For The Way I Dress. Ladies: The Most Important Thing In Clothing Is To Find A Good, Inexpensive Tailor, Because Clothes At The Stores Are Made For Bodies That Are Anomalies.

I Will End Up With Someone In The Arts. I Am Positive. I Eat, Breathe And Sleep Acting. And I'll End Up With Someone Who Is Happy Staying At Home And Having Me Cook Supper. But I Also Really Need To Be Intellectually Challenged And Stimulated. I Want Someone Bookish, And Someone Who Is Passionate.

I Was Afraid That My Success Would Be Dependent Partially Upon My Body, And It's True I Can't Be 20 Pounds Heavier And Play The Leading Lady. But I'm On The Smaller End Of An Average-sized Woman. I'm Positive Of This, Mathematically. And I Still Get To Play The Lead, Without Having To Be Anorexic Like So Many Of My Peers.

A Lot Of Times, I Think That What I Do For A Living Has No Integrity. 'once Upon A Time' Has Changed That To A Certain Extent Because The Reaction We Get From Children Out In The World Is So Fulfilling, I Cannot Even Articulate It. There's Nothing Like Being Greeted As Snow White By A Hyperventilating Child Versus Ginnifer Goodwin.

With The Counseling Of My Family Doctor, My Mother Ended Up Turning To Weight Watchers And Their Children's Program. I Went To Weekly Meetings, Got Counseling And Would Exercise With My Peers Who Were My Size. It Was The First Time I Saw A Proper Children's Portion Size, And It Wasn't Two Burgers, It Was One.
