When I moved to New York out of college, that was my goal. To be a stage actress. And to do dramatic works. Like ‘Madea’, and ”Night, Mother’, and ‘Sam Shepard’, and all that kind of stuff. That’s what I really wanted to do.
See, that’s the thing: I’m not one of those actors who thinks, ‘God, I’ve got to improvise and make it my own.’ No, my first job as an actor is to take what’s written and make it work. And then, if they want me to improvise, I’ll do that.
