I was so depressed and so down. Oh my God, like the difficulties as a young girl that I went through with the disappointments constantly with the acting thing.

And I was sitting next to a woman and being Greek

I talked to everybody.

Somebody sitting next to me to the bus, of course,

I'll say, hi, how are you?

And it's beautiful woman. I well I'm very depressed I didn't get the

part that was a you know I'm an actress and oh she said I'm an actress I was an actress

she's an I'm a nurse I have a little boy I'm a nurse, I have a little boy, I'm a single mom, so I had to earn a living.

And she said, what did you audition with? And I said, I did Joan of Arc.

I said, oh my God, was that the Bernard show? And I I said yes and said I know that monologue I said it's the one that goes you promised me my life that you lied and I said you want me to do it for you and I start to recite this monologue which is so powerful because she's in front of her

accusers and she says to them I could live without water and bread but to shut me from the

light of the day to throw me in the

dungeon so I can no longer hear the larks in the trees and see the soldiers

passing by and to no longer be able to smell the flowers and the air that is worth in the

furnace in the Bible that was heated seven times so burn me, burn me at the stake

and God will be with me and God will comfort me because the hatred in yours will be supported by the

comfort of God and the people who love me and she goes on and on and she says

so God be with me and so I'm screaming this

monologue in the bus and the whole bus wakes up and she kind of applauded me and

she holds my hand and she says, my dear girl, you don't have to wait for anyone to hire you.

You are so talented.

Why don't you go do your own thing?
