ALICE SAID WHAT PAGE

What do stars take when they are felling ill?

"People are always asking me about staying in such terrific shape.  I drink a Chinese herbal concoction daily that is mixed for me at my local health food store. I don't know (everything) that's in it, but I know there's barley in it."

How she found out about her getting the role of Frankie (AW).

"AW kept me on hold for a while, but finally I learned I had the part while I was at the gym working out.  They paged me over the loudspeaker and I didn't have any change on me, so I called my agent collect.  I said, 'I'm sorry I didn't have a quater on me.'  Laura, my agent, said I think we can afford it you got the job."

On getting pregnant with Anna.

"That was a shockaroo, boy, let me tell you.  We were terrified.... well, when is the right time to have a baby?  When both are careers are set?  We just felt like it is now or never."

On raising children in urban areas instead of the suburbs.

"Everyone always ask, 'Is it difficult to raise your kids in New York?'  I look at suburban kids who get into cars at the age of 16 and start drinking beer and driving.  That's something we never did in New York.  (At least) none of us got into devil worship - things kids in the surburbs are doing out of boredom."

More to come later.  So check back.
