I hoped, hoped, that maybe I’d be lucky enough to do something on Broadway, in the chorus.
I have this internal battle between, I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids. And the kids win.
I’m privileged, because I have a lot of freedom. I want to use it to make as warm and normal a life as I can for our daughters.
I think that it’s not as crazily different, my job, from anyone else’s, as people let themselves believe. I think people get wrapped up in their own idea of what it is, but it’s really not that.
You can do a lot with Scotch tape. Almost anything! I love that you can hem a dress, and its an instant remedy in a fashion crises.
You know how as a kid you picture yourself with a tall, handsome husband, and you imagine him cuddling your baby? Ben is like that, like, on crack.
My world was a community ballet school, a marching band, my two sisters and my girlfriends. I played saxophone in the band and was a bit nerdy.
I’m still really close with everyone at home and their parents – and their brothers and sisters. I was so, so, so lucky to grow up as part of a community and I don’t take that for granted. I try very hard to stay part of it.
We all have a responsibility to volunteer somewhere and I’m lucky that I get the education and get taken to places to see what’s out there and see what’s happening and to then be a part of it in hopefully an impactful way.
No matter what, it is very tricky and difficult just to be a good parent at all. I have a lot of help. And for that I’m very grateful.
I wasn’t a woman who stayed tiny like I thought I would. I definitely gave myself the freedom to eat what I wanted.
I was a ballet dancer and that kind of bled into musical theater. I was constantly in rehearsal for one thing or another.
I try to eat in a way that makes me feel good. If that means a little bite of chocolate I do that, but I try not to use food as a reward for myself.
I never had a problem resisting somebody that I knew was going to break my heart.
Women should take care of each other, not tear each other down.
I love being physical and acting at the same time.
I just try work out at least twice a week if I can.
I have always been drawn to child-related causes. I find that people listen to me more when I advocate for children now that I have my own.
I love the feeling of being on a team, rehearsing together, sharing a dressing room – I love that so much.
Can we just stop pretending that skinny jeans are a good look on anyone? Can we just band together and go for a boot cut, please? Ladies?
