She has also lent her voice to a variety of animated series and films including SuperMansion and Tarzan as well as video games including Jurassic Park: Trespasser. My English teachers were the reason I became an actor. I started to understand plays and character through writing and reading an enormous amount. So I feel like I’ve always written loads, just not in this form. I’m a huge letter writer and journal keeper. I wrote music.

The final chapter of the book is a beautiful ode to your mother, who passed away last year. You mentioned wanting to publish the book before Mother’s Day—were you trying to make that deadline as a way to honor her? It was unkind to want her to wake up to my gloom but unfortunately it was written into the contract between sisters that if at any time one party has grown too far apart from the other in terms of outlook balance must be re-dressed by the happier one getting yelled at. I don’t make the rules.
