Nobody’s life is wrapped up neatly in a bow.
At this moment, glyphosate is the biggest threat. And because of its overuse, we are seeing the emergence of superweeds, which have grown resistant to glyphosate. This has led to biotech corporations developing even more toxic herbicides, including 2,4-D, one of the main components of Agent Orange.
I’ve been an audience member for friends in plays that I don’t enjoy and I have to lie to their faces. It’s just part of that lifestyle unfortunately, especially in New York.
There are emotional ties to family that are connected to the sexual experience for women that are very different than men which does make it harder for women to date and not get hurt.
Most actors and actresses are performative as people. It goes part and parcel with the profession and New York actors who are out of work, or actors anywhere out of work, are manic because you never know when the next job is going to come.
Writing becomes a really good creative outlet when you’re sitting there and feeling creatively frustrated or stilted, but also you then get to write parts for yourself.
I always loved writing as a tool of expression.
I was never shielded from the realities of what it meant to be an artist and that made me afraid to be an artist because I wanted to know that my life was secure.
I grew up in a financially insecure place because I knew that my parents were following their dreams which has pros and cons. It was actually my mom who encouraged me to go to acting school because I was really afraid to put all my eggs in that basket.
You always have to lie. I’ve been in plays that people don’t enjoy and I pray that they lie to my face when I come outside.
There are certain women who are sexually driven and they can compartmentalize it from an emotional attachment.
For the most part, for me and my friends, there’s always an emotional attachment that clouds women’s judgment.
I come from a long line of women who like shoes to a fault.
I try to make a lot of time for friends and family because I think that’s really important and for pleasurable experiences.
I doubt I’m more secure than Meryl Streep. I guess actors just never feel secure.
Theater is a really exciting place to return to all the time because it’s incredible training for an actor.
I do think it’s important to be honest about your feelings in a long term relationship because it’s totally human to be attracted to other people. It’s just about what you do about that attraction.
I’m everything free. I’m gluten-free. I’m dairy-free. I’m sugar-free. Sometimes I’m yeast-free which really means I eat paper.
Sometimes I think that kids who are given junk food then don’t crave it as adults in the same way. I don’t know. I’m trying to figure out what the psychology is behind it before I have children.
My mom’s a great cook but I wasn’t really allowed a lot of sugar or junk. That has served me well in my life.
It’s always fun to play characters that are different from me.
