Tammy Blanchard

The only show my mother could afford to take me to when I was growing up was 'Cats', for my birthday.

I don't really have a career plan. There's no joy for me to just be a personality in my work, and I feel that that's so much of what's out there.

I always like to play roles where I either love the character or think that it's a story that I can tell better than anyone else. There are always reasons for me to do whatever I do.

I was born in Jersey City and raised in Bayonne, New Jersey. It's a town that's next to Jersey City, and I'm still there!

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
