Here's a vice: I say yes to too many things. I wish I had the guilty pleasure of saying no. My goal is to try to do less, but more fully.
Carbon dioxide pollution is transforming the chemistry of the ocean, rapidly making the water more acidic. In decades, rising ocean acidity may challenge life on a scale that has not occurred for tens of millions of years. So we confront an urgent choice: to move beyond fossil fuels or to risk turning the ocean into a sea of weeds.
I was discouraged at drama school, along with most of my peers.
With Alien, because we always use a different director, each one kind of stands on its own. So I guess it's possible for them to make another one, but we have no plans.
It's such a nice change to get to play a wretched, shallow, mergers-and-acquisitions woman. My true colors come out.
I am more of a New Yorker than ever and just actually, sometimes I fantasize about living somewhere else, where it's maybe not quite so crowded or stressful, blah, blah, blah and after September 11th, I guess I could just not imagine living anywhere else.
I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.
I consider myself very much a team player.
I am a person who goes out without a purse.
Secretly, I had always wanted to go to Vegas, and have my own really bad act!
I love playing an alien.
I think that every piece has its challenges. I love going back and forth between one and the other. I'll always pick a comedy over a drama.
I love working quickly. I don't like to do thousands of takes, and I don't want to do thousands of set ups.
I used to be terribly shy, so I was either shy or over the top, and I always had a difficult time.
