Everything was coming my way, but I was going down. I was painfully empty. ↗

I was dead inside. ↗

I was jumping out of my skin. It was horrible. I was all over the place, because I'd never been in front of a live audience. That's a whole other element in the play, the audience. ↗

I was so busy fighting and so busy trying to keep everything above water that I didn't realize I was spiraling downward with nowhere to go. ↗

I'd be like, 'You're a young, vibrant woman. Where are you?' I realized that I had been living in denial. ↗

Sometimes there's one person in the audience laughing hysterically, and it's so much fun. You end up playing the entire play to them. ↗

You know, last season I didn't do anything on the show, so I was frustrated. I mean, don't get me wrong: It's nice to get a paycheck. But if you don't really do anything it's not very satisfying. ↗
