Actress

You can have a plan, but you have to be flexible. Every day is unpredictable, and you just have to go with the flow.

That's why I love doing live theater more than anything: You get an immediate reaction, whether it's good or bad.

I feel like I eat pretty clean as my regular routine. I eat a lot of steamed vegetables, steamed chicken. I don't eat that much meat. I'd be maybe, I would say, 90 percent vegetarian. Mostly just because I like the way it makes me feel, not other reasons.

People's arrest tapes, mug shots, everything is online.

I'm a New York girl. I want to stay here and raise my son here.

I was one of those people who watched and videotaped the Tonys every year and kept a highlight reel every year. I saw every Broadway show as a kid.

I love the story of how my parents met because it seems very 1950s Brooklyn. They met on a brownstone stoop as my father was singing a little doo-wop.

I am someone who puts their takeout or leftovers into the Tupperware and stores it in the refrigerator overnight.

I find something funny when it lives on many levels - a level of self-deprecation, of knowledge and heightened reality.

I, like almost every actor in the world, auditioned for 'Friends.' I wish I had gotten that one. I actually auditioned for Rachel and didn't go very far.

The fact that I even get in Broadway shows is, to me, still amazing, but then to win a Tony was just incredible.

There are days that I love just devoting to going to the park and playing with my son, but then sometimes you have to leave out other things, or if work is a full day of work, perhaps I miss the play time with my son, and I guess the only struggle is trying to not shortchange any of the things that you want to do.

I'm willing to go further than other people on camera.

I hope wit comes through in all the characters I portray.

Yes, I have a good sense of humor to sort of last a long time in show business, and I think to be able to find comedic value in who you are and the people that you work is always a good thing.

I still get thrilled by the energy that is a live performance, the fear and the panic and the electricity that happens on the night. I think jolting myself every once in a while with that fear is a good thing for me.

I would love to play Dot in 'Sunday in the Park with George.' It's one of my dream roles - to play Dot.

It takes a lot out of you to do a one-hour episodic lead of a show. I don't think actors realize that when they take the job.

My great-grandparents came from Poland. Interestingly enough, they were named Adam and Eve. But I do not believe they are the original.

I think I used to sort of segregate things. Work was this and life was this and exercise was this. And I feel as I get older, or I become more relaxed, I feel like wellness is my whole being.
