THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH
FOR COMING OUT.
THIS IS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE.
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
AND I'D LOVE TO DO A SITCOM.
THE THING IS, IS LIKE I'VE HAD
SOME MEETINGS WITH THE SHOW BIZ
TYPES.
AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE A HARD TIME
WITH ME.
THEY SAY, THEY SAY, "MARIA, WE,
UM, WE LOVE WHAT YOU DO.
IT'S INTERESTING, WITH YOUR
VOICES.
IT'S INTERESTING.
(LAUGHTER)
BUT WHO ARE YOU?
IN A SENTENCE OR LESS,
WHO IS MARIA BRAMFORD?"
"I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND,
YOU KNOW, I JUST THINK--
(THROATY VOICE) I'M, UM,
JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL.
MMMM.
TRYING TO MAKE IT IN THE CITY."
(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)
SO NICE.
