My intention of making acting a career was about being onstage.

My first real acting gig was probably playing Mamillius in my mother's 'Winter's Tale.' My mom and dad are both in theater, so I grew up acting and being a little theater brat as well.

I'm not responsible enough to have puppies.

Being vital means knowing the rules and being brave enough to break them.

You've got to talk to your kids as both a parent and a friend.

My father would read me Page Six instead of, like, kids' stories.

I think you have to plan ahead. When I go to the market on a Saturday, and I'm buying for family and friends, I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat on the weekend but also about what I'm going to make for the following week.

My father, Abe, was a small businessman. For 32 years, he ran an exterminating company. That may explain why our family always associated the smell of roach spray with love.
