I wanted to act; that was my one goal. I wanted to devote all my time to acting and not waitressing or anything else.
I was able to support myself by acting alone about six years ago. Until then, I was just scraping by.
An addict is an addict. If they're not acting out in one area, it tends to come out in another. I think there was a time when I considered myself a work addict, but that's no longer accurate.
