Diana
My name is Diana Morales. And I didn’t change it ‘cause I figured ethnic was in. Six-ten-forty-eight. You got that? And I was born on a Hollywood bed in the Bronx. Go on – what? Oh, oh, you wanna know how tall I am? The color of my eyes? Or how many shows I’ve done? I just gave you my picture and resume, everything you wanna know is right there. Tell you what’s not on it? Like what? Talk about – what? The Bronx? What’s to tell about the Bronx? It’s uptown and to the right. What did I do there? In the Bronx? Mostly wait to get out. What made me start dancing? Who knows? I have rhythm – I’m Puerto Rican. I always jumped around and danced. Hey, do you want to know if I can act? Gimme a scene to read, I’ll act, I’ll perform. But I can’t just talk. Please, I’m too nervous? Look, I really don’t mind talking ... but I just can’t be the first ... please.
