I sometimes think I should go back to school to learn French and music, but who would have me? I'm an open-space person. I'm not a believer in sprawl. I don't particularly care for postmodern architecture. I believe in solid fare and building fair. I'm green to the core.
This group I run in New York bought 60 community gardens and helped another group to buy 55 in congested neighbourhoods. I'm doing a similar thing in Hawaii, but it's harder there, the tracts are so big and there are these things about road zoning, dams, reservoirs My parents mother Ruth a seamstress, father Fred a painter were not encouraging.
My father put everybody down. Yeah, it was a real drag but he had his moments. His saving grace was a wicked sense of humour. He was a good provider. They were a team. They were at Pearl Harbour, they knew hardship. My mum was supportive, she had a tinge of showbiz fever and named me and my sisters after Hollywood icons. My dad was like "Get a job". But that gave me something to fight against. The best part was nature, which is so intense there.
The sky is bright blue, the clouds are puffy, the grass is lush, it feels like you can touch the stars. But the people were not very nice. I was a white kid in a mostly Asian neighbourhood. You heard Hawaii was a great melting pot? I had a very strong fantasy life. Sorry, what was the question? I'm bonkers. Where am I? Who am I? I love your socks. I thought I would be an actorrrr. I thought I'd be Ethel Barrymore. I didn't know who she was, but she was my idea of an actorrrr.
It seemed it would be more fun to be someone else rather than myself. I celebrate everyone's religious holidays. You can keep the meat dress and the firecracker boobs.
Mermaid's mine. People love that voice. She sings straight. She doesn't do a lot of riffing. There are no trills, no thrills. Its straight singing and it comes from the heart. As an actor you're supposed to take jobs that will challenge you or force fans to see you in a different light. By the '90s, I wasn't really an actor anymore.
I was someone who went on the road with these gigantic concerts. I got so far away from what they told you in acting class: Do something different. Producers kept offering me the Sister Act movie, but I said, "My fans don't want to see me in a wimple.
She was high until the bitter end. It was stupid to say no to those pictures. And while I was unsure about doing this play [on Broadway as Sue Mengers ], I felt it was time for me to say yes. It was dense, really wordy, and I was determined to learn every word of it - not just skip over bits and pieces. It took me a long time to actually know what the play was about - that it was a long aria with slow-moving parts, and parts with laughs and tears, and that my job was to switch gears pretty radically and seamlessly in ways that I had never done before.
And this wasn't like just one day of shooting for a movie - you had to stay healthy, your brain had to stay sharp, and you needed enough wind so when a sentence went on like a paragraph, I could still breathe. There were moments I had to eat candy, and I would have a mouth full of saliva, but no time to swallow it - so I had to learn to perform through moments like that.
I had a hard-scrabble childhood with my parents. I have a lot of baggage. To come down to the footlights and accept the audience's affection inside a Broadway theater - that didn't come easily to me.
Sue Mengers was way tougher than I am. You go through your life, you're a certain age, a lot of things have happened to me, but I needed to put those aside and let the audience affect me in a simple way. I answer the phone now and people calling think it's my husband. And my allergies in that theater - it's a very old theater. And the hairspray! I never used hairspray. And the wigs!
Let's not talk about the fricking wigs, that was such a saga. But the cigarettes were the hardest. When I made The Rose , I did smoke, I smoked for six months, and years later I tried a cigarette again and it made me sick for two weeks.
These are herbal cigarettes, but smoke is smoke. I was thrilled, though, when I finally got the timing down to smoke two at once - a cigarette in one hand and a joint in the other. That was Sue. I'm incapable of doing anything other than entertaining. I can barely add and I've never been able to do my own taxes. It's a good thing I've been blessed with this fantastic will to go forward, even when I hit the skids.
