As long as I can wear a wig I can be any character, and in real life I can be myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In cartoons and in improv, anything can happen. You can be any character you want. The rules of real life don't always apply.
When I get up in the morning and put on a pink or a green wig, I see myself as a piece of animation. It lets me be the person I want to be, a person who's not embarrassed to have fun.
I love to put on a wig, a costume, inhabit a different world and be called something different.
We want to pigeonhole things and people, but it is absurd to regard me just as a furry wig-and-britches actor.
As an actor, particularly because I'm - I would call myself a character actor. I change my look, my physical appearance and my body, my hair color, my whatever all the time for a role.
Wigs are my best friends. They let you be whoever you want to be.
So many actors wear wigs nowadays. Besides, if someone is hiring me because of how I wear my hair, I don't want to work with them anyway.
I have never been stereotyped in one kind of character. I have been a part of reality shows, events, singing and dancing. No one has ever told me, 'She will fit only in this character or this look.' It has never happened to me, luckily.
I don't wear a wig. I'd feel terrible onstage with a wig. I hate to be so 'Actors Studio'-ish, but I like to feel it's me out there.
You can't form a character without being completely comfortable with who you are as a person.
