1. The three qualities that got me where I am today: Perseverance, honesty, and humor.
2. Most agonizing career decision I’ve ever made: Taking on any Broadway show. You know you’re not going to have much of a life outside of it, and it depletes you physically and emotionally.
3. Easiest career decision I’ve ever made: Saying yes to Suddenly Susan.
4. Kind of work I’d do for free: Interior design.
5. How did you make your first dollar? As the Ivory Soap baby in 1966 at 11 months old.
6. Last thing I binge-watched: Killing Eve.
7. Book that left a lasting impression on me: Cutting for Stone, by Abraham Verghese.
8. Song that always makes me cry: “My Funny Valentine.”
9. First album you bought? Cherish, by David Cassidy.
10. On my bucket list: Learning how to play the piano.
11. Food I’m not ashamed to admit I love: Cheetos.
12. Cocktail of choice: Margarita on the rocks, no salt (and not too sweet).
13. If I could live in a foreign city, it would be: London.
14. How my perfect day would begin: With a cup of PG Tips black tea and my New York Times.
15. How my perfect day would end: Margarita on the rocks, no salt (and not too sweet).
16. Store I can’t leave without buying something: Sephora and the Container Store.
17. How I clear my mind after a crappy day: Margarita on the rocks, no salt (and not too sweet).
18. Something nice I did for myself recently because, hey, why not: I took myself away to the Bahamas, alone, for my birthday.
19. The beauty essential you’d have to pry out of my cold, dead hands: Any product by Dr. Barbara Sturm.
20. My first kiss: Keith Carradine in Pretty Baby (but he assured me it didn’t count).
21. Relationship advice to my younger self: Have more confidence in yourself.
22. The craziest thing I did for love: I chased after a guy’s car and tried to grab on to the window because he was leaving me.
