The type of work is different, but the need to be on top of things and be compassionate is the same and I've got a lot of experience with that.

Pretty soon this will all be mine and I'm hoping I can do as good of a job as they've been doing.

I wish that I could keep them in my back pocket for the next six months, but they assure me they're only a phone call away.

You think you can go into all those auditions not knowing who you are? The work came after I found my sense of self - when I wasn't so manic and desperate.

I think so. I can't think of anything that requires more finesse than comedy, both from a verbal and visual point of view.

Being a late bloomer, I really didn't have any interest in children until my late 30s, but I'm so happy I didn't go through life without that experience.
