As an architect I learned to think and express myself on flat forms on paper and to imagine the contour of the lines of a design.

I've never mentioned this but when I was at Parsons teaching the other design disciplines they don't like fashion design. They see it as very nineteenth-century.

I learn my lines while on the golf course. I try to do two or three things at once. I have ideas for books all the time I have ideas for paintings all the time and I write them all down. I take my sketchpad and my iPad which I design on and I do sit down and do specific tasks at specific times.

Well I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it.

I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.

Mary Tyler Moore was a working woman whose story lines were not always about dating and men. They were about work friendships and relationships which is what I feel my adult life has mostly been about.

My boyfriend calls me 'princess' but I think of myself more along the lines of 'monkey' and 'retard'.

I've been acting since I was 10. My dad was an entrepreneur so I guess something along those lines. I wouldn't want a 9-5 job.

That's a tough question I've been acting since I was 10. My dad was an entrepreneur so I guess something along those lines. I wouldn't want a 9-5 job.

TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day's lines while you are shooting today's scenes. I found courage I never realised I had. I hope to do more.
