One of my mother's friends said to me, 'Your ex-boyfriends didn't stand a chance with you and your mother.' And I think I probably was unfair to them because she was the first person and the last person I called about every single thing. Sorry, ex-boyfriends.

The focus of our family life was homework and what was for dinner; getting to ballet rehearsal and getting my brother to soccer.

As someone who's been doing a lot of classical theater recently, I loved the idea of getting to run around in Steven Alan, and not be in a corset and a wig, and not have a dialect, and get to be in a 90-minute play with no intermission, and get to do real comedy.

I did have wonderful things to draw from, from my own experience and also just from friends and people I'd gone to school with who were very much immersed in this world right now.

Truthfully, I don't know how those special effects people do it.

I will say that I've been lucky enough never to have to do a job I didn't want to do, or a play I wasn't in love with.

Mark Conseulos is so amazing.
