To get to go from stage to set and back, it keeps you feeling very present, and I think that's always such a wonderful thing in your work because you don't really have time to be as neurotic as I might become.

When I was in high school and college, my other real focus was, actually, fiction writing. So in college, I had done all these seminars with these various writers-in-residence.

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

For me, work is so satisfying and it's giving me so much, it's nurturing me so much, that I think it sort of makes up for the sleep depravation.

Being a part of the theater community has been important to me from the time I was a child, through my parents.

I really like when I read a scene and it scares me. That makes me excited.

Mark Conseulos is so amazing.
