That's what's so great about my job. I get paid to do what got me in trouble in grade school space out and play with my imaginary friends. In terms of Isaac, when the time's right.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Working in Isaac's universe was more of a treat than a challenge.
Computer programming is pretty much guaranteed income. I'm good at it, and I like it.
I have made a career of creating characters who fight school authority and chomp at the bit to get out into the 'real' world and live their lives, mostly because that's the kind of teenager I was.
I get paid for what most kids get punished for.
I find that balancing my life with my work with the kids at St. Jude, working on books, working on my career as an actor and taking time out for my husband and family help to cushion a lot of the blows.
I always thought of my work as being animated by a spirit of unhinged generosity.
Even if I don't have a job, I work on plays and scenes.
My job is to allow the character to live and breathe - and become as real to the reader as he or she is to me.
My greatest reward is knowing for certain, as I do with many other acts and artistes, that without Jonathan King being alive and involved, Genesis would not exist, and the guys would have had careers as intended - as accountants and lawyers!
Isaac and I are going to Israel to ride for peace enviromental justice and a safer world for us all.
