“I didn’t know how much of the bug I had till I went to UC Irvine as a biological sciences major, thinking I would be a dentist. Two years in organic chemistry told me I wasn’t going to be a dentist. So I segued into economics, because at the time, UCI I didn’t have a business school, so I thought, well, it’s close, and I can still spend a lot of time in the arts, which I love. So I was over on the fine arts side of the campus a lot; I took a lot of dance courses, I had lighting design, stage management, all the theatre things that I loved.” says [Paula] Tomei.
