Read on Twitter
Well.. I guess when the twitter responses to me crying are making me cry.. it’s worth attempting my very first THREAD..?
You’ll never hear me talk about acting process..because I generally think it’s cheesy and should be private..

(2) but I feel the need to express some gratitude.. maybe it’s the crazy times..first off I never ever confuse viewers responses to my character with a response to ME.. there’s a certain alchemy to seeing a character/story told up on a screen that is magic!
(3)The characters we play come to embody certain archetypes that resonate with different viewers for different reasons..I know this because I grew up adoring soaps and their stories and clinging to characters like a lifeline in a frequently awkward childhood..
(4) for people who resonate with Olivia, it’s not about me but resonating with her as an archetype of MOTHER. It’s a powerful thing, maybe the most powerful energy in the world, and when I read that beautiful speech that the writers gifted me with..
(5) I was struck by how often I hear from viewers on Twitter or at events..or just people I know.. who are so desperately hungry to hear the words Olivia said to her beloved child..many people, sadly, will never hear them.. some mothers can’t say them..
(6) but to hear SOME archetypal mother say the words “I love you.. JUST THE WAY YOU ARE”.. to be for a moment, the person saying those words.. to whomever needs to hear them.. was such a pure joy..
You’re lovable, just the way you are...
full stop.

(7) Thanks for all your kind words and letting me in your house. #GH
