I've always come into a show when the show was already up and running.
I'm Irish on St. Patrick's Day. I'm Italian on Columbus Day. I'm a New Yorker every day.
I'm all about the drugstore beauty products. They're affordable and get the job done.

I am always happy to use my song and dance training.
Chuck Cooper is a friend, and I adore him. He can do so many things.
I believe that you can always learn from observation.
I always watch the work I do.
