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

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

I was kind of like the Rhea Perlman of the bar. I was like Carla on “Cheers.” People were more afraid of me. There was a point where I got a little surly. There were only so many chicken wings I could serve before losing the smile on my face.

When my husband came to my parents' house for the first time, he asked, 'Why is everyone screaming? Why are they so angry?' I said, 'No one's angry. This is just how we communicate.

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.

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

My first waitress job was at Johnny Rockets in New Jersey, and then I waited tables at a sports bar.
