News: Actress Cady McClain: Tori's Music First, Nice Kitty Close Second

Actress Cady McClain, who plays “Dixie” on All My Children, has written an entry titled The Power Of Orange Knickers (Tori Amos) in her Confessions of a Mad Soap Star journal:

Soap operas are a tough business. These last few weeks I have been asked, “how do you put yourself back together after a scene like that?” Honestly, it is not easy. I usually go have a stiff drink and try to get home and go to sleep quickly. Other times, it’s not so easy. It lives with me for days, stirring up my own crap, and takes its rather expensive toll.

So what do I do to get on with the business of living? I listen to music, I go see art, I lay in the sun, if I can, which is very healing. I think about roller skating, knishes, tattoos, and New Orleans. I try to soak up other people’s good energy by means of their work, like listening to Miss Tori, when it is available, and when it isn’t, I think about how nice a kitty can feel when she’s feeling friendly, and I give mine a good cuddle.

Until the little bitch bites me.

We hate it when that happens.
