Description

Sample Book Insights:
#1 I had only been onstage twice before I played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. I had played a singing lion in a school play in the role of a singing lion, and I had spent my childhood performing for attention and control.
#2 I had a Dorothy Moment when I was speaking in front of a group of parents, teachers, and students. I could decide what the next moment would be. I could try something new. I could go off script and give something a shot.
#3 I knew I was going to be on Saturday Night Live from the very beginning. I didn’t know if I had the talent or drive, but I had a tiny little voice whispering inside of me that told me I would meet Carol Burnett someday, and that I would be okay.
#4 I was so excited to go to Boston College that I wiggled in my seat as I wore my cap and gown. I was unprepared for the fact that most of the students were wealthier than me. I met prep school students who knew how to decorate their rooms with tapestries.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I had only been onstage twice before I played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. I had played a singing lion in a school play in the role of a singing lion, and I had spent my childhood performing for attention and control.

#2

I had a Dorothy Moment when I was speaking in front of a group of parents, teachers, and students. I could decide what the next moment would be. I could try something new. I could go off script and give something a shot.

#3

I knew I was going to be on Saturday Night Live from the very beginning. I didn’t know if I had the talent or drive, but I had a tiny little voice whispering inside of me that told me I would meet Carol Burnett someday, and that I would be okay.

#4

I was so excited to go to Boston College that I wiggled in my seat as I wore my cap and gown. I was unprepared for the fact that most of the students were wealthier than me. I met prep school students who knew how to decorate their rooms with tapestries.

#5

I went to a performance at the Eagles Nest, the BC cafeteria and general social center, and was impressed by how much fun it looked. I wanted in on the group, which was called My Mother's Fleabag. I auditioned, and after being woken up in the middle of the night, I was taken to a secret location to drink. I became part of the group, and we rehearsed constantly.

#6

I decided to take control during the tornado scene in the second and final performance of The Wizard of Oz. I paused, put the blinking dog down on the stage, and walked a few feet away from it. Toto, Toto! Where are you. I said, pretending to look for my lost dog in the fearsome storm. The dog played it perfectly.

#7

The voice that talks badly to you is a demon voice. It is a strangled and seductive version of you that tells you you are fat and ugly, and doesn’t deserve love. But there are ways to make it stop talking.

#8

I was often teased about my looks in middle school, but in high school, boys started going up my shirt and girls were expected to give blow jobs and be sexy. I was expected to be hot but not a slut.

#9

I made the decision early on that I would be a plain girl with tons of personality, and accepting it made everything easier. I decided early on that I would not be my looks. I have spent a lifetime coming to terms with this idea.

#10

The most difficult thing about being considered beautiful is the struggle to prove that you are more than just your looks. You can be objectified and underestimated, and people assume that you are happy and good in bed.

#11

I always wanted to have kids, and I am now a mother. I am a decent person and very good listener, but I am not good at funny faces. When I was twenty-six, a Japanese healer felt my abdomen and told me I had a joyful uterus, which would produce three children.

#12

I was 37 when I got pregnant. I didn’t tell anyone at first, as you are supposed to keep it secret. It’s a really magical time, those first few weeks. You wish you didn’t have to tell anyone ever.

#13

I was so lucky to have Dr. G as my doctor. I felt neurotic and stressed, but I felt like a success. I ate what I wanted and felt super sexy. I was lucid enough to realize that I was on a total hormonal high, but I didn’t care. I loved being pregnant.

#14

I was eight months pregnant when I went on SNL in September 2008, and I did fifteen live shows in thirteen weeks. The anticipation of Tina playing Palin was exciting to witness, and she took on what was expected of her and killed.

#15

I had been working hard on the show, and I was feeling happy. I had done my rap the previous Saturday, and I was excited for Jon Hamm to host for the first time. I was exhausted, but invigorated.

#16

The best thing to do when your water breaks is to stand up, as your baby will act like a plug. I was made of tissue paper, and I knew that my life was about to change.
