stars fun guests
When you guest-star, you're usually at the center of the dramatic arc, so that's fun.
connections theater instant
Id love to go back and do theater. Theres nothing like that instant response and the connection to a live audience.

I miss singing. I did Broadway forever.
need-love deserve
There's a lot of life on the planet that needs love, wants love, deserves love, in whatever capacity we are able.
fun play people
Its a lot of fun to just say to people, proudly, I get to play the First Lady. Its just fun to say.
tape degrees moments
I used to be so hard on myself. So hard on myself. Just my own worst critic to the nth degree. Absolutely undermining my confidence in every moment. Bad tape in my head all the time.
thinking empowering looks
I think you choose how you walk through this life. I think if you choose to participate in a paradigm that is looks-based, if you're an actor, then it can be empowering in some ways, and it can be really limiting in some ways in terms of time and longevity.
hurt pain love-yourself
You gotta love yourself, because when you're hurting - you never know who's gonna be around to do the lovin' for ya. You gotta love yourself through the pain.
watches notorious i-can
Notorious is a masterwork. I can watch it every day.
grateful thinking true-beauty
I think true beauty is everywhere. Be it. See it. Notice it. Love it. Be grateful for it. Marvel at it. It's everywhere. It's all around us all the time.
love-is thinking space
Love is a true unconditional space to me. To love someone or to be loved is to be seen, and I think, gosh, as humans, all we want is to be seen, to be heard, right? To be valued. To be respected. But mostly just to be held in a safe, unconditional space.
