Actress Alicia Silverstone, who is currently starring in Manhattan Theatre Club's production of 'Time Stands Still' is featured in New York Magazine, where she talks about her return to the Broadway stage, her work ethics, and her 'Clueless' legacy.

Silverstone who last appeared on Broadway eight years ago in 'The Graduate' reflects on being back in New York. "I spent the first week of rehearsals, every morning and every night, looking for an apartment. You know how people say New York is hard? It's hard! My experience in the past was different. I had a driver. I was younger. It just felt easier. The whole thing has been super fun and super stimulating, but I feel like every day takes a ton of effort. It's like, you think landlords would care about what goes on in their buildings. Oh, there's a gas leak? They don't care. It's been hilarious and interesting. Not all hilarious though. When I had my period, I thought I was going to die," she says in the interview.
