As a youngster, I lived in Philly for 12 years, and I would go up to New York to do shows and make money - it was the dream to maybe be able to survive there and live there.
To make money in New York, you have to add gigs when starting out, so while I was acting quite a bit, I would do modeling.
He was one of those inexplicable gifts of nature, an artist who leaps over boundaries, changes our nervous systems, creates a new language, transmits new kinds of joy to our startled senses and spirits.
Dick Clark will be truly missed. We will carry on his legacy every New Year's Eve.
I had a New Year's kiss once. But it was like, 'Let's start the year off together,' and then we wound up breaking up the night after!

I love seeing what people wear out to dinner in different cities. I know how differently I dress in New York than I do in Los Angeles.
