In real life, I tend to yell at people a lot. Not because I'm bossy or mean, but because I'm frustrated.

I think people tend to be very myopic and they don't understand how their actions impact others.

In real life, a lot of people at that level will have their kimonos made especially for them.

It's funny to be playing a mom. I mean, I'm not a mom in real life. I don't even have a dog.

I don't tend to write straight dramas where real life just impinges. But because I don't, when I do, it is very interesting to slap people in the face with just an absolute of life.

I can be bolder on the page, as a character. I can gnash my teeth, I can scream and yell, in a way that I'm perhaps too timid to do in real life.
