Making a gourmet dinner with my husband, Tom, then just hanging out with our four children, their spouses, and our delightful grandchildren.
Knowing that each day I have lived wisely and loved well.
Being totally present and at peace in the moment—and knowing that my children and grandchildren are all right.
When, as a university freshman, I would go to the ocean in the summer and free-dive all day long.
Laughter first and foremost, acceptance, and love.
The trait that ignites my Sicilian impulsiveness.
Falling onstage…or anywhere.
Filming Penny Dreadful for five months in the Republic of Ireland, sublime land of faeries and spontaneous song.
My Sicilian impulsiveness.
