- [on her decision to work in theater, rather than continuing a career in journalism] We all come to those forks in the road. I just loved making theater more than I loved covering stories on a day-to-day basis. There was something about the magic of the theater that enticed me. I could remain in a place of infinite imagination. I felt very confined by journalism. There's a part of me that always wanted to paint outside the lines.
