My grandmother always would say, "This, too, shall pass." It is always true.

Laughter makes me come alive. Either being made to laugh or igniting it.

My fear is that, had I stayed in Jersey, I would have become Snooki because I'm just a bottle of hair dye away.

I usually need to sit with pain a while. Really feel it. Then I need to talk it out. Luckily, I am surrounded by wonderful listeners who haven't told me to shut up yet.

Meditation is very important to me. I feel off-balance when I skip a day.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to perform. I went to an arts camp called Brookdale Arts Camp, in New Jersey, from the time I was 6, and then I was a counselor there through high school.

I was a super shy, shy kid, so that was kind of my way of expressing myself - to mimic what I saw on TV. I was a bit of a weird kid, but luckily my parents encouraged it.
