best freedom
A place of freedom is the best place to have the most creativity.
days jeans occasions spend suits tank trainer wear
As for my personal style, I like comfort a lot, like jeans and T-shirts. Having been a trainer for so long, I spend a lot of my days in tank tops, shorts, and T-shirts. Still, I do like the occasions where I get to wear suits and make that a thing.
fully good invested job
Acting with someone else, I can't tell how good they are because if I'm doing my job right, I'm just fully invested in everything that person's saying.
arrogant begin good might people
People who act the most arrogant often are the most insecure, and they just can't even begin to accept the possibility that they might not be as good as they think they are.
boys build careers create encouragement girls men society support women
We need to create a society where girls and women are getting the same encouragement and support to build their careers as the boys and men are. From the start.
grounded grounding offense people preference psychology resonates watching
For me, my preference for comedy is grounding it in the psychology of the character, and not just kind of making faces. Even when it's a crazy character, grounded comedy resonates more with people because it doesn't look like you're watching someone do vaudeville. No offense to vaudeville.
people
I got a lot of empathy from my mother growing up, and I think it prevented me from ever really just writing people off.
I am all about the complicated ice cream. Ben & Jerry's is my go-to. I like as many things in there as possible.
mostly
I have a background in erotic dancing, but that's mostly just - it's not professional, it's just amateur.
fitness love married people romance stage
I know some people who are like, 'I love fitness,' and I feel like if you have to say that, you're still in the romance stage. I'm in the stage where I've been married to it for 60 years, and I don't think I'll ever get a divorce.
chick funny good honestly love
I honestly love any good chick flick, as long as it's a good movie or pretty funny. 'Love Actually' is a no-brainer.
camp early great plays school
I feel like my early experiences of acting, and I think a lot of other actors' too, are probably at camp or school plays where you get to have great range. At camp, I remember getting to play a 50-year-old man.
dudes
I'd feel weird on a show where it was a bunch of dudes that are my type. I like sticking out a little.
grew
I grew up in Chelsea on 22nd Street... I am really a native New Yorker.
