Last night was The Women's Choice Awards celebrating a group of amazing women and their incredible achievements. Sharon Stone received the Icon Award and gave an unforgettable speech about empowerment, grace and remembering the women who have been the trail blazers for us all.  The event was also attended by over 100 young girls from across the country who are part of a program called I AM THAT GIRL who's mission is to transform self doubt and build self love.

I had a great time attending the Women's Guild Cedars-Sinai Annual Gala honoring Billy Crystal with the Hollywood Icon Award.  Technology, innovation and art.  Let's keep our eyes on the future and continuing progress.  Photo Credit: Michael Tullberg @GettyImages 

What/Who inspires you as an artist in the following categories:
Photography: Cindy Sherman is an extraordinary artistic influence on me. I find her work thought provoking and exciting.
Film: I just watched A Woman Under the Influence again and it's as gut wrenching now as it was the first time I watched it.  The performances are so real they are painful to witness.  It makes me want to work harder at my craft.     
Literature: I am reading 2 books now, Jon Krakauer’s Under The Banner of Heaven and Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer.
Music: I’m very partial to my man’s music. He’s a super talent and has the voice of an angel. My favorite is when he is practicing around the house. Check him out Chris Pierce Music on itunes.
Stage: The last play I performed in was Paula Vogel’s “How I learned to Drive”. It is wonderfully honest piece of writing and working on the character of Lil ‘Bit challenged me to stretch way beyond my comfort zone.
Television: I’m obsessed with everything HBO. True Blood of course and I never miss an episode of Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire.
Culinary: Chef Eric Greenspan and his grilled cheese, Baco Mercot, Dalia Lounge, Malo in Silver Lake.
Fashion: My current obsession, long white dresses.
Can you describe the time when you first realized that creating was something you absolutely had to do:
I think I wanted to be a ballerina first then I decided a circus performer was more my calling. I started creating and performing skits for anyone who would watch and I had a dress up box that brought hours of fantastical entertainment to my childhood.
What are you trying to communicate with your art:
That every person has a story and a voice worth listening to.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Los Angeles premiere of SUFFRAGETTE starring Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter and Meryl Streep.  I really enjoyed the film and I loved the subject matter.  I'm so grateful for all the strong women who came before us who fought for equality.  The fight is not over.  Equality matters.  VOTE.
