In 2002 Mom and I got a chance to act together in a play called 'Pitching to the Star,' with her brother, Robert Lipton. The three of us on the same stage - that was such a special experience for me.

I feel like until you show every side, you're not doing the gender justice.

When a thing you love faces adversity, you start to feel more protective of it. Also, you take an inventory all the time. You ask yourself, "Is this worth all my fighting?"

I'm generally a pretty friendly person.

I don't think that there's been one example in history where somebody has openly talked about their personal life and it's done them any good.

I would [call myself a feminist], yes, I believe in the unadulterated advancement of women. And we have so far to go still.

I was like, 'Oh, my God, girls are so pretty and soft. No stubble burn! What am I doing with guys?' [I] haven't dipped back since, but I was very appreciative of the experience.
