Finally, thank you to the people who most directly made me me. I thank my father, Neil Puller, who showed me what it means to work hard and to reach for goals. And I thank my mother, Deborah Goldberg, who taught me to be a force for good in the world—and who I promised to thank both first and last when I won my Tony Award. This may not be a Tony, Mom, but it’s the greatest prize I could ever ask for.
