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

I think every script I read has something that sends me into a state of panic but that usually makes me want to do it.

The only thing that matters is the theater!

You want to feel like people are hiring you because they want to work with you, not because of who your parents are.

It's sort of scary to work with your parents when you're in the same business. But there was something so very safe about that. Acting with her was just like working with a wonderful actress who just happens to be my best friend and also my mother.

I had never done a 90-minute play with no intermission, so it is a bit like you get onto the train and you don't get off until it's over - and it's over very quickly, so don't miss a moment of it. That experience is very rare and specific so don't miss a minute, because there aren't very many minutes of it.

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