There is nothing like the high of being on stage and reaping applause, especially for emotionally needy people like me!

When a person goes into a relationship emotionally needy, they are not going to have discernment in choosing people.

But so much of being an actor isn't so great - the auditioning, the rejection, the financial insecurity.

I just like being on stage and making people happy.

That said, I should also add that I learned a great deal from being allowed in these privileged circles and am grateful for the opportunity to have worked closely with some of the most powerful and successful people in the business including Steven Spielberg and Ted Turner.

Originality is, for me, the most important quality in a script.
