Are you kidding?

So it was a really nice reminder to me that people are people are people.

And like every time I get nervous or I feel like an imposter or I feel not good enough, everybody experiences that it's a human condition.

The VH1 thing really happened on accident.

I was an actress.

I studied musical theater in college, and then I dropped out of college.

I moved to New York City to study musical theater at a two-year conservatory program.

Immediately after studying at the school that I was at called the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, I booked my dream role in the Broadway National Tour of The Wedding Singer.

I played Linda the bitch that leaves Robbie Hart at the altar.

In the show, she's this Lita Ford wannabe rock star.

She looks like a combination of Joan Jett and 80s Madonna like a virgin.

She's just this hilarious wannabe rock star chick.

I was on the road playing this character for a year and I get back from doing that and I see this audition for a sexy rocker chick.

And I'm like, oh, I could play that part.

I could play that character.

I know nothing about heavy metal music.

I know nothing about rock and roll, but I'm like, this is a gig.

I'm an actress.

I can go get this.

I'm going to go land this.
