challenges challenging-myself different
Creatively I just enjoy challenging myself in different genres.
tvs watches court
I would absolutely be a litigator. I watch Court TV every day.
son nursing naps
'Project Runway' was my guilty pleasure while my son was napping or nursing.
jobs thinking years
It's a miracle to be an actor and to know that you have a job to go to a year from now is a rare thing, so I think peace of mind and financial stability come with that. Hopefully I'm a little wiser and have a little more perspective in my life than I did then.
wedding thinking stressful
I don't think it's possible to have a wedding without it being stressful!
commitment years littles
I'm a little commitment phobic, in that I've always been someone who likes to take things one year at a time because as we all know, a year can change everything in your life.
meaningful powerful school
So my son is very curious, which is fantastic. He loves school. So I don't have to encourage him too much, but I love to do it because I know it's meaningful and words are powerful.
communication mean thinking
I think that there's etiquette for every means of communication. People are very judgmental and have strict rules. I don't think you should end a relationship with a Post-it note. I know some people who get offended when an e-mail is sent as a "thank you" note instead of a hand-written card.
children school numbers
My parents always made education and school the number one priority. They believed that an education is the best gift you can give to your child.
first-love years musical
That whole world of musical theater was my first love. It's where I wanted to be when I was three years old.
keys cash lips
If I have a pocket, then I'll have lip balm, my keys, and $10 cash.
children self-esteem writing
Write hand-written notes daily and commit to supporting the growth and self-esteem of children, because it makes such a big difference in terms of their capacity for learning.
life letting-go believe
When you're passionate about something, you want it to be all it can be. But in the endgame of life, I fundamentally believe the key to happiness is letting go of that idea of perfection.
friendship new-york gay
I come from the New York theatre world, and I have a lot of gay male friends, so this friendship of Will and Grace's isn't such a stretch.
