Yesterday I finished reading "How I Learned to Drive". I always read the notes the director and writer have in the beginning of the book and I saw that Mary-Louise Parker, the actor for the television show "Weeds" was the original Li'l Bit. I admire everything about that show, and one of my biggest idols is the creator and writer of it Jenji Kohan, so I just pictured Li'l Bit as the pot dealing mother that Mary-Louise plays on Weeds. What really caught my attention in this play was towards the end of the play there is a monologue, one that I've heard so often because Viviana used it for some audition or something. I really never paid attention to what she was saying but I had basically memorized it from all the times I had heard it. I realize that my monologues for my character Alexa, are very similar in theme to that of Li'l Bit. Li'l Bit says them so calmly, there is no yelling or anger really, which is something that I have trouble with. I easily fall into having my characters yelling at each other, and can't find a way out. Having people yell at each other for ten minutes isn't that entertaining. Fights don't have to be yelling all the time, and being angry at someone doesn't mean that they are always fighting.
