When I saw all of the people I have known all these years, when we got together, it was scary because B.B King and I lived in the same place in Nevada.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a kid, I always looked up to people like B.B. King and Ray Charles.
I met my husband, Jacob, in medical school. We married and went to live in Hawaii where his family lived. It was very beautiful, but I wasn't used to being on an island and needed wide open spaces. Eventually we moved to Maine, New England.
Everyone is different. Sometimes it's very exciting; sometimes very scary.
My wife and I live in Brooklyn, N.Y., not too far from where my Long Island childhood happened.
I remember my first night in L.A. I was sitting outside, looking out at the city and thinking, 'I don't know anyone.' I just approached it as a big adventure. I still think of it that way.
Basically, my parents messed up because it was the Sixties, and they both had affairs, but they had a great love for each other. I saw that when my father flew over from Los Angeles when he knew my mother was going to die.
I met my wife in South Dakota.
I was lucky, as many of my generation was, in having a man like Dr. King in our lives. He came at a time that we needed to take a long look at each other and see how similar we were.
When I first met Robert Patrick, I died - he is so scary looking - he is a scary looking man.
Las Vegas and I both grew up together, and all of a sudden I was doing things that no performer had ever done before.
