It was just really, really tough getting anything when you were a female. Basically, I just took advantage of everything I could. But when people are going to flat out tell you they're not going to hire anyone that's female, there's not much you can do about it.

I'm still astonished that somebody would offer me a job and pay me to do what I wanted to do.

In these litigious times, if you're a beginner, it's becoming harder and harder to get your work to the people who might actually be able to hire you.

I'm a decent cook; I'm a decent chef. None of my friends would ever have hired me at any point in my career. Period.

I got my first job by exceeding expectations.

I started getting jobs, and I thought it was going to be real easy.

I'm thrilled to get hired every once in a while.

Everyone thinks offers are always pouring in. Offers have never poured in. Never. I was auditioning a lot, but I didn't get the jobs.
