The laughs are earned by the really well fleshed out characters.

I'll always be a dancer first, ... Chicago.

It's always hard for me not to dance when I'm on camera; I've had great times doing (TV and movies), but physically I feel very restricted.

I really liked that my character was Jewish, yet she wasn't a stereotype.

The 'Cheers' character Lilith is not based on the Jewish myth.

It's an example of how well the shows were written and produced. The only way you knew Lilith was Jewish was that her son had a brit (ritual circumcision).

My parents are such great people, ... They wanted me to do whatever it was that I loved doing.
