In a lighthearted piece by NY Magazine, Sarah Paulson provides insight into her NY lifestyle.

An excerpt of her answers from the piece:

What's the best meal you've eaten in New York?

That INSANELY expensive, but totally worth it, $26 Black Label Burger from Minetta Tavern. Just thinking about it makes me nuts.

What's the last thing you saw on Broadway?
Red. Alfred Molina was so wonderful and Eddie Redmayne broke my heart.

What's your drink?
Tequila; with so many limes you wonder why I bother with the tequila.

How often do you prepare your own meals?
Nightly. It's not anything anyone would be proud to say they made, but I eat it.

Who is your mortal enemy?
Sarah Palin.

What makes someone a New Yorker?
When you have the balls to yell "Move all the way into the center of the car, please" on a crowded subway train at rush hour.

In 2008 Sarah starred in the Roundabout Theatre Production of Beth Henley's Crimes of the Heart directed by Kathleen Turner. She originated the role for this production at the Williamstown Theatre Festival the previous summer. She also starred opposite Alfred Molina and Annette Bening in the critically acclaimed Cherry Orchard for the Mark Taper Forum playing 'Varya.'

The Manhattan Theatre Club Broadway premiere of COLLECTED STORIES, by Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies (Time Stands Still, Dinner with Friends), directed by Lynne Meadow (The Tale of the Allergist's Wife, The Loman Family Picnic) plays at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

COLLECTED STORIES stars Tony Award winner Linda Lavin (The Tale of the Allergist's Wife, The New Century) and Golden Globe nominee Sarah Paulson (Still Life, Killer Joe, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip").

The design team for COLLECTED STORIES includes Santo Loquasto (Scenic Design), Jane Greenwood (Costume Design), Natasha Katz (Lighting Design), and Obadiah Eaves (Sound Design).

This acclaimed drama chronicles the relationship between two female writers - a celebrated New York author (Lavin) and her young protégé (Paulson). As their fascinating story evolves, and the line between fact and fiction blurs, the twists and turns of this complex relationship weave a play that's as smart and witty as it is powerful.

Lavin and Meadow reunite for this Broadway premiere after working together on MTC's hit production of The Tale of the Allergist's Wife.
