At Princeton I gained a great deal of pleasure from success in my classes. knowing that I could accomplish those things, and I realized that my success was directly proportionate to the work I put in.
I could never, ever have an abortion.
I have a place in the Broadway community that can only be earned.
People say, 'I love my wrinkles.' I don't love my wrinkles - come on!
I'm just starting to realize the type of work that I want to do. Not everyone can fit into the sitcom world because it's so fast-paced, but it feels comfortable to me.
Depression is so smart - it uses all your references and patterns.
I look back at myself, this innocent person, and I think, 'Gosh, she's okay.' I handled a lot, and I'm still here.
I'm a hands-on mum and I'm lucky to be able to be that. I can remember the things my mum used to do with me and that time together is so important.
From the time I could speak, I knew I wanted to have children. It was just an innate desire.
As I'm getting older, I'm enjoying my vices so much more because I feel like I've deserved them.
I love getting baths and going to the Korean spas and getting pummeled and scrubbed, and its so hot in the sauna you can't even stand it. I have to do things in a pretty extreme way to calm down. So a Swedish massage is not going to do it! I need to know that they're in there with their thumbs and moving stuff around.
The most rewarding thing is being on Broadway. I went into Cabaret as a replacement and was really challenged beyond anything I could have imagined.
We live in New York. To be able to have a steady job and take your kids to school, and be around and work hard, is the perfect life.
I'm so adamant that being a really good parent does not mean you have to be there 24/7. I find that I'm never not thinking about where they are, but instead of it stressing me out, it comforts me to know that I'm completely aware of their schedule, and they're with someone I trust.
