I was very close to my mother, and her death, which left a gaping hole in my life, has been very difficult for me and my father in a lot of ways.

My father was a military attache, so I've been traveling all my life.

It was definitely a part of our life. I mean, my mom had both her brothers and her fiancee in Vietnam at the same time, so it wasn't just my dad's story, it was my mom's story too. And we definitely grew up listening to the stories.

My life had been very work-orientated, and all in close-up. Once I had the family, it went into sudden widescreen.

My mother has done so much for me in my life and has continuously been there and been my rock.

Broadway is really my life.
