Your words, your voice, are a CRITICAL part of lifting the veil of what we do as actors and it should be required reading for anyone in drama school or pursuing this career. Truly. We're better for sharing this time on the planet with you.

Fantastic. Fave line: I’ll never slap on happy endings to these stories, because I haven’t reached my ending yet.

LOVE! The story, your telling of it, and your format with the weekly obsession. I had not seen Catherine O’Hara that night—she is everything!! And you are amazing! 🧡

Bethany I really enjoy your raw honesty about the business. I’m also hoping these will be turned into a book. You write extremely well, and having seen you perform, I enjoy watching you do your thing, because you’re good at it.
