I am so grateful to Marc Jacobs, Riccardo Tisci, Karl Lagerfeld, and Katie Grand, who took a chance on me that first season and gave me an opportunity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Marc by Marc Jacobs was my favorite. The stage was so big, and there were so many people there. I had very bad vision during the show because I forgot to put in my contacts, but I didn't fall or anything.
And I have to credit David Jacobs with the opportunities he gave me. He was totally into sharing the creation of characters. David put together a show that told the story of people over many years' time and that was greatly enjoyable. Though nowadays that is frowned upon.
While at Parsons, I interned at Marc Jacobs, which was great. When I graduated, I went to work at J. Crew; that was also really great.
David Jacobs is a great influence on my life, has taught me so much about so many things.
I've been very fortunate to have the opportunity to work on wonderful shows.
After guest appearances, I got the offer to do the show as the successor of Arthur Schwartz. It's so much fun.
We were the laughingstock of that first season... It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television.
I've had the great fortune of working with incredible people on many shows.
I'm a huge fan of Alice Hoffman, Fred Chappell and Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
I look at the careers of people I'm standing on the shoulders of. People like Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., and Sarah Vaughan. These are icons I wanted to emulate, and I feel like they've been holding me up for quite a long time.
