Yeah, I think there was a point at Carnegie which I loved. It was the only acting I knew. So a lot of other people had come having acted before or studied before, and they had their judgments about Carnegie. I just was lapping it up because it was the first and only time I've ever done it. So it didn't matter to me. Then I went to New York, and I was terrified.

And, you know, when you come out of Carnegie, you're supposed to go into the repertory system. And there's, I think they're called TCGs, where you go and you audition for all the companies around the country. And none of us got in at all. We went, well, shit. All right, we'll all go to New York. And that's what we did. But it terrified me so much that I went to John Houseman.

Yeah, but at least it was like you were cocooned. And he very sweetly said, well, if you still feel that way a year from now, come back. So off I went. And then I studied – I did study – Names, neighborhood playhouse, famous, famous... Sandy Meisner. Sandy Meisner, thank you. I did two years of a Sandy Meisner student teaching a version of that, which really is what I think...

I was really lucky when I got to L.A., which was – I mean, I did – I understudied an off-Broadway show for a year and a half. I did soap opera and I did – I did anything I could. I would be an extra in a commercial and be just as happy. I didn't care. As long as I was working, doing something, I was thrilled. And even just being in an acting class was as exciting as being paid.
