As a child, I was convinced I was going to be a beautiful award-winning dramatic actress, and I'm not sure it occurred to me that I was funny.
I think performing has always felt like an outlet for me to conjure the louder, darker, wilder, more obnoxious parts of myself so that in my real life I can just be kind of nice and normal.
Before the show, I went outside and rubbed real dirt on my face to complete my transformation - very method of me - and when I got onstage, I felt explosive.
I basically designed my Vanessa 5000 costume to be my dream cartoon-character-superhero alter ego.
