The theater's been very good to me and I became Julie Halston through the theater.

The world is both big and small at the same time. So you really do need to know TV, film and theater. Everyone is kind of moving through all different mediums. So I think it's important to be able to do those things.

I love Paris. I've been there a number of times.

I'm always interested in something that Helen Mirren is doing. I thought her series Prime Suspect was unbelievable. I think she might be my favorite actress.

You could do all the internships in the world but if you're not very bright, you might not get into the University of Chicago.

I have great respect for Craig Lucas. I absolutely adore his sensibility.

I have to admit, I have a little sad addiction. I love watching on the E Channel that stupid show, The Girls Next Door. It's a very sad thing to say and I don't know how to explain it but I am addicted to Hugh Hefner's girlfriends and The Girls Next Door.
