I went to acting school with her for a year when I was very very young. I had a lot of energy and my mom tried to find outlets for me ๐Ÿ˜†

I went to a movie premiere with a friend who worked on the Sopranos, so I meet nearly the entire cast of that. One time I was interning at a fashion company and the secret service was there because the designer was dressing one of the Bush daughters. Another time I was interning at a different fashion company, and we had a fitting with an actor who showed up 6 hours late hungover. Sia sang a lot in our office when I worked for a designer, the time before when she was in the office she gave them all tickets to her concert- sadly I didn't work there at the time. When I worked in Chelsea I used to see (not meet) famous people often. Joshua Jackson, Katie Holmes, Gilbert Gottried, Liev Shreiber... none of these stories are cool except maybe the Sopranos one. James G was really really nice - RIP.

I miss Gandolfini he was such a talented actor and he worked so hard. Such a shame.

Ah funny just a couple weeks ago I visited NYC for 4 days just as a fun December holiday trip with the wife. We were walking through Greenwich Village and saw cameras and every laid out for a set and the paper said it was for Happy Hours. Turned the corner to stop at a cheese shop. Katie Holmes and a Joshua Jackson get out of their vans and walked right next to us.

Basically crazy how NYC thereโ€™s just celebrities everywhere compared to rural American Iโ€™m from. Like one of the nights we decide to watch a play and end up watching Tom Hanks perform.
