Speaking of shopping, which shops are intimately familiar with your credit card numbers? Barneys is my favorite place. I don't care where I am in the world, I shop at Barneys. Everything is so beautiful. Another favorite of mine is a store called Tory Burch. They have summer things, and it always reminds me of California vacations. It makes me feel happy, because when I'm in New York and get really depressed about the weather, I go in there. They have such amazing patterns and fun pinks and oranges, and it reminds me of home. I buy a lot of vacation clothes there. And I do a lot of shopping on the street. That's the thing about New York: There are always little jewels everywhere here. You walk around the street, and you find such great bargains everywhere. Barneys is one side of me, but then I have my bohemian on-the-street stuff. That's all over the city.

If the pipes burst in your apartment, what's the first hotel you'd go to? The Four Seasons. I was living on Waverly Place and I had a five a.m. call. I had no idea about the Halloween parade in New York. It's insane. It's like Mardi Gras. The whole city shuts down, and I was having a nervous breakdown because I had all of these early calls and I hadn't slept. I was really overwhelmed with the show. I checked myself right into the Four Seasons.

If that's sold out, where would you go? Well, now I just come here, to the Soho Grand. It's so close to my house. I always have people stay at this hotel. You have every fun restaurant nearby. The best shopping in all of New York is here. It's groovy, cool, and low-key. If you're an actor, nobody bothers you.

Where do you go in the city when you want to pretend you're not surrounded by millions of people and skyscrapers? I go to Bliss Spa, because I don't feel like I'm in the middle of New York City when I'm there, and the spa is amazing. It transports me to another place. Utter relaxation. The massage therapists and aestheticians are really fine at what they do.
