I want you to learn the lesson of the lotus. This flower springs forth from muddy waters.

Life is too short to muck about doubting yourself. It's better to try and just shore yourself up with some sort of confidence. And get on with it!

I think there's a lack of quality roles for women in comedies. Most actresses get cast as the eye-roller or the serious one, while men in comedies get to do all the fun, silly stuff and muck around. Sometimes you just have to search hard for a role or create one for yourself.
