I know enough to know that when you're in a pickle... call Mom.

Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places.

Growing up where I did, the thought of working on a television show or in a movie... that existed on a parallel plane, you know?

I would roll up pennies to take the subway to work in Times Square. I was broke, but I was happy.

My parents started with very little and were the only ones in their families to graduate from college. As parents, they focused on education, but did not stop at academics - they made sure that we knew music, saw art and theatre and traveled - even though it meant budgeting like crazy.

In my teens, I was never part of the cool crowd.

We all have a responsibility to volunteer somewhere and I'm lucky that I get the education and get taken to places to see what's out there and see what's happening and to then be a part of it in hopefully an impactful way.
