“I'm a very musical person.” — Mary Steenburgen

I've had battles with writers who live in L.A. and were writing southern characters, because they felt like if they wrote 'Sugar' and 'Honey' at the end of every sentence, that would make it southern.

Do I feel like I still need to prove myself? Absolutely. And I want to feel that way, and I like that.

I started in improv and went into different kinds of things.

I've found that most people who studied when they were little, even if they never took another tap class, it's percussive, so it stays in your body, the muscle memory of it.
