I used to love a well-arranged room: the furniture, the fabric, the lighting.

Theater dressing rooms are my home away from home - my second home, really.

In my dressing room, you'll definitely find some Starbursts and Skittles. I have a lot of candles that remind me of home, and a humidifier for my voice. I also have some digital Kodak albums where I have pictures of my friends and family.

When you come to a hotel room, you want it to be grand, functional and beautiful. But you don't want things that are not useful. Sometimes you go to hotels and there are all these frames and pictures of people you don't know, and you end up hiding everything in the drawer, and then housekeeping come and put it out again.

In the dressing room, we've just made it really Zen: low lighting, lots of candles, and fresh, healthy food.

I love having beautiful furniture and things, but I don't want my space to look like a showroom.

I'm very used to stages and dressing rooms. And dare I say it, much as I like being at home, I love the buzz of a new hotel room. It never quite loses its thing.

I don't have any furniture of mine in my room.

I wanted stores that would feel like a comfortable room in my apartment, cozy and colorful and different.

A walk through the storage facility of the community museum where I worked might easily have convinced you that people in the past wore only wedding dresses, carried silver candlesticks, and played with porcelain dolls.
