I have always loved Manhattan, the bright lights, the big city!
It's a really strange thing to be doing, to go on stage and all of a sudden have bright lights and spotlights.
I went on to Cincinnati. I had got a taste of the big cities and them bright lights. I stayed there until I was about 18 or 19 and then I went on to Detroit.
Some people must go to extremes to get the world in balance for themselves. Some can't bear bright lights, so wherever they go they search for the dark; they turn the lights down, anything to sustain some level of comfort.
I like L.A., but I'm definitely a Brooklyn girl; I'm a city girl. I need the cars honking. I need the bright lights. I need people yelling in the middle of the night screaming at each other. I need all of that.
First time we played in New York was in 2013. It was all very eye-opening. A very bright lights, big-city sort of vibe, and we played the Mercury Lounge.
On network TV, I'm still Phoebe to people, and it would be hard to convince them otherwise in the bright lights of a sitcom.
There is no place like America. Between the stunning skyline of New York and the bright lights of Hollywood it is out there.
I have not much love for the bright lights - unless it's the sun creeping up over the horizon.
My mother is looking forward to it even more than me! I'll be showing her the bright lights of New York.
