I had this crazy job, though, when I first got to Los Angeles...I answered this ad in the back of the newspaper to be a telephone psychic, and I did that for two days. I called up this guy, and...this is how hard it was to get this job: He said, `So, uh, do you feel intuitive from time to time?` And I was like, `Yea, sure, I feel intuitive.` He said, `Do you read Tarot cards?` And I said, `I DO!` and I didn`t. - on her stint as a telephone psychic
