I remember being described often as 'the horrifically ugly Jack McCall,' and I kept thinking it took me about 10 seconds to get like that.

I'm drawn to melancholy characters. I don't know what that says about me. Characters who are filled with shame. I think shame is interesting.

I remember my comic strips being called 'new wave.' It bugged me.

I think that's what we're supposed to do is play a wide range of characters - or it's just what I like to do, I should say.

I remember being 12 or 13 and reading 'Seventeen' and 'CosmoGirl.' They were all about self-improvement.

You know what, I remember being on my T-ball team and telling people about 'Platoon.'
