I want to be a radio star so that I can say all the things I'm thinking and nobody will know who I am because you can't see faces on the radio. And any publicity used would show a decoy face, one that's not mine, so that when I grocery shop people won't say, "look, there's that radio person we hate! Throw a can of baked beans at her head!"

People are always asking me what I do and my initial reaction is to chuckle. "I'm an actor" just seems too cliche and glamorous to describe what I do. But it's like the question "how are you?" Nobody wants to hear the real answers: My head hurts, I lost my job, I have the gout, etc. Similarly my answers about what I do can be potentially stressful for the listener: I drive all the time, I sleep in my car, I'm grasping for a dream, etc. So sometimes the simple "I'm an actor" is the best answer I can give.
