There Are Many Stages Of Grief.

I Remember Being Seven And Asking My Mom If I Was As Pretty As Monique [my Best Friend In Grade School]. And With All The Love In The World, My Mom Looked At Me And Said, 'oh, Honey, You're So Funny.' So, She Doesn't Lie To Me...she Answers The Question By Not Answering And Instead Tells Me What She Thinks Is My Greatest Strength.

Look I Eat Really Well And I Work Out, But I Also Indulge When I Want To. I Don't Starve Myself In An Extremist Way. You're Not Taking Away My Coffee Or My Dairy Or My Glass Of Wine Because I'd Be Devastated.

I'll Never Forget My High School Acting Teacher, Anthony Abeson, Who Said, "it Starts With The Shoes." When I Think About A Character, It Does Start With The Shoes: What Kind Would She Wear? How Would She Walk In Them? If I'm Going To Put On A Dress For A Role - I Don't Care If It's The Hardest Dress To Put On - I Have To Put The Shoes On First. The Physicality Leads Me To The Character.
