One of the things I did when I was in New York, which has a wonderful deaf community, is I have worked on making Broadway more accessible to deaf people. ↗

The character I play is a wonderful compilation of things I hate about myself and things I love about myself and things that I've invented to make her even more interesting than me. ↗

The way I see it, I can either cross the street, or I can keep waiting for another few years of green lights to go by. ↗
