I would point out that I'm an actress for a reason! If I were popular in high school I would have considered another career because I wouldn't have been alone in my room making up other characters for myself. I definitely had growing pains. The popular kids didn't want anything to do with the girl who was starting the drama club.
I came here in 1974 to do a play and then I went to L.A. I really like living in America. I feel more at home here than anywhere else.
