Diane Neal's Quotes
- I was such a late bloomer I didn't have feelings towards men or women, and frankly I was a little surprised when it turned out to be men.
- I have been a stand-up comedian for years, and I can be silly.
- My older sister has all her degrees in theater, and I couldn't stand the theater geeks!
- My first job, I was a presser at a dry cleaners; it was heinous. And then I've had amazing jobs where I get to play dress up and people bring me food. It's just been this incredible breath of understanding.
- I've always been really active. I'm an accidental actor but intentionally always interested in politics. I didn't think that I would run. I loved civics, I loved government, I loved the history of political philosophy, political theory, how democracies came into being from Athenian times, it's always something that's fascinated me.
