The stage and working in front of a camera are two completely different mediums. Each requires different techniques.
The key is allowing your partner to be who they are and not having expectations that really have nothing to do with the person you married.
Living in New York, for me at least, just keeps it very real and keeps my feet firmly planted on the ground.
I've lived in New York for thirty years now, but I'm a proud Pittsburgher, and home is home. My family's still in Pittsburgh.
I've been in this business a long time, and I'm very clear on what is real and what is fleeting.
I've always come into a show when the show was already up and running.
I was very good in all the maths and sciences.
I want to play Eva Peron. I've already done a lot of Shakespeare, but I'd like to do Lady Macbeth.
I still enjoy doing the things I've always done, like going to a monthly dance party at a club downtown.
I missed singing. I missed performing in a nightclub.
I have Native American blood. I have African blood. I have European blood.
I grew up in a funeral home. Both my parents were morticians.
