Theater's my first love. I love it. It excites me. It feeds me.

My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she'd always act out the parts I did.

I don't really like horror shows, horror movies, or any of that. I'm really a lightweight, in terms of that.

Acting is my calling, not my career.

When I got married, I was all in love, but then came life intruding in, and sometimes it's difficult ... I would look at my husband and ask, 'did we do it too quickly?' ... But my husband was strong in his resolve. He kept reminding me that people go through this, and that we were going to be ok.

I remembered that throughout my growing up and education and pursuing my dreams and desires, going into acting, and, of course, getting through Yale University and on and on and on, that being average, being mediocre was not an option that you should be proud of.

When you ask the best questions of yourself and others, you invite the best answers.
