Things get complicated at times, so there are certainly moments when you wish your life were different. That's true for everybody, not just people in our profession. But there's nothing I feel like I gave up professionally. I'm absolutely doing what I enjoy.
I love working closely with people.
I hope that anyone I worked with wouldn't exploit our relationship.
I grew up in Manhattan on the Upper East Side.
I grew up in Manhattan and, since my father was a playwright, all I ever wanted to be was a stage actress.
I don't think you should exploit your own pain.
I crave a cone of silence every once in while.
I certainly didn't have a nanny.
I am very lucky, because for the most part people are very nice to me, and I am still able to go about my life and ride the subway and all that.
I always laugh to myself when I listen to some really big A-list star saying that they are just a normal person.
I love actors, regardless of where they are in their skill level. There's something terribly satisfying about working with someone who's really learning.
It's always nice when you do something and it's well received as opposed to the other way which God knows happens to everybody. When the good times come around, you take a deep breath, appreciate it, but not take it too seriously.
I had learning disabilities, and I couldn't express myself in the written word,
I'm always curious, but I'm learning things I never thought I'd learn. I get to travel to places I never thought I'd go.
