I think that every therapist that I know, including my dad and my sister, have their own issues. But that empathy is what makes them good at their job. – Laura Benanti
My mother was an actress and my voice teacher, an incredible voice teacher. My biological father is an actor, and my stepfather, who raised me along with my mother, is a psychotherapist. I was always supported in creative ventures. – Laura Benanti
I do think musical-theater actors can get a bad rap, and I see why. There is a certain slickness – theres nothing better than an amazing musical, but an okay musical can be one of the worst times youve ever had. – Laura Benanti
My dad is like a cactus – introverted and tough. Im a people person, like my mom, but I got my competitiveness from my dad. He came to this country from Belarus with nothing and built a real business. Hes my hero for giving me that need to run a business and for having enormous confidence in me. – Gary Vaynerchuk
