But I then also realized that as a profession, you know, I could choose to be a psychologist or a psychiatrist.
It served me, that interest, as I investigate characters and that, you know, that wanting to understand characters.
personalities, people, why we make certain decisions, and how that informs what we choose to dress ourselves in.
I think that it is all part of how I have made sense of what I do.
I think that that was okayed by my mom.
I think my dad, who was a very pragmatic man, wanted to make sure that his children took care of themselves and could take care of a family and making choices according to that.
So really, theater and the arts for my father wasn't a solution.
I mean, that wasn't an option, really, you know.
And I think that my mother probably talked him into this as an idea because, indeed, you could get a degree in fashion design.
It allowed for me, I mean, my intention was to get to New York, come hell or high water.
I mean, I realized that, you know, when I think that my class took two trips to New York while I was in high school.
And I knew that I wanted to be in New York.
You know, I wanted to mature, you know, as an artist in New York.
And that was where I could actually...
start to do theater.
So it put me in the right place to start to take lessons, voice lessons and audition and eventually join a cast on Broadway.
That was my hope.
But indeed, it was at least having some degree that I could excel in.
Why not have it be fashion?
Because it was something that I really enjoyed.
