What an amazing opportunity to do something like direct a movie and step out of your creative comfort zone and yet do something that is also so familiar at the same time. I was also just excited to have the chance to direct which I may never get to do again.

Growing up in New York has influenced my style so much and I have an amazing relationship with my stylist Estee Stanley. We have so much fun with the whole process. She picks out dresses I try things on and play dress up and we get creative to see what works.

I went to an amazing school in Brooklyn called St. Anne's that's a really kind of creative hot bed.

That is we believed the supreme duty of the parent who only was permitted to claim in some degree the priestly office and function since it is his creative and protecting power which alone approaches the solemn function of Deity.

I think that in itself is kind of an amazing achievement to be able to say that your full-time career is in any creative arts let alone a show that has kept people interested for coming on four seasons and hopefully more.

People must insist on the right to say no to be alone to stand out from the herd. Creative artists can say all this in their own way and in their own field by hard rigorous work.

It is good taste and good taste alone that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.

Genius worship is the inevitable sign of an uncreative age.

We grew up in a very creative environment and were exposed to the arts at a very young age so it's not a surprise that all of us are in some form of the arts.

At a young age winning is not the most important thing... the important thing is to develop creative and skilled players with good confidence.
