Fanny Brice

"Funny Girl" has always been my favorite musical...always since the first time I saw it a few years back, anyway. There is so much I can relate to Fanny Brice. Her whole life everyone tells her she can't be famous because she isn't pretty, she's plain. She's plain but she was born to be a performer. She was born to make people laugh...

That's how I feel. I sometimes feel like I don't get parts because I don't look good on stage. But the thing is, it's where I'm happiest. I was born to stand under stage lights and make people laugh. Make people believe I'm someone else.

I love being backstage, don't get me wrong. I don't mind at all working with my hands, and I tend to get along better with Techies than with actors. Actors tend to be a little stuck up and I can't stand arrogance.

But I don't feel completely happy unless I'm performing. I miss it terribly. I'll miss it until I'm performing again. I hate auditioning, but I'll keep coming at the theatre world until they recognize me. 'Cause..."I'm the greatest star, I am by far, But no one knows it! That's why I was born-- I'll blow my horn Till someone blows it!"
