I Know, It's Amazing To People That

I've Been A Performer In The Public Eye For Many Years Now And It's Much Darker. It Feels So Worse Now. It Feels Heavy; It's Difficult To Deal With. The Hatred Is Unbelievable, But I Actually Feel A Lot More Compassion For The Journalists And People Who Aren't Used To That. At Least On Some Level, It's Been A Part Of My World For A Long Time, So I Can Handle It. I'm Not Going To Say That I'm Used To It, Because I'm Not. I Think It's Really Difficult For People Who Are Just Doing Journalism And Receiving Death Threats On A Very Consistent Basis.

Kids Do Have To Learn That Life Is A Humiliating Charade Of Endless Disappointment And Tragedy Ultimately Culminating In Pain, Decay, And Death. My Parents Used To Sing Me To Sleep With That One.

It's Very Canadian Of Me - Or Maybe It's More The Catholic Schoolgirl In Me - But I Always Really Want To Do A Good Job.

I Continue To Be Very Shy. I Think A Lot Of Actors And Performers Are Really Weird, Shy People Working It Out Onstage. I Don't Know Why That Is.

You've Got To Have Gumption. You've Got To Be Willing To Stand Up On The Stage For No Money For Ten Years.
