I started coming into my own at 30, discovering what's important to me, not caring what other people think.

I wanted to be the female Jim Carrey.

It's very strange. I can't go anywhere without somebody stopping me, which is so cool that I get to connect to people that I never might've ever spoken to, or they have an impetus to speak to me. It's created a career that I wasn't sure if I'd ever really have.
