What You Can Learn From Cynthia Nixon's Creative Process

www.fastcompany.com: Cynthia Nixon may have played a seminal character on HBO's Sex and the City for six years, but a résumè full of serious onscreen roles—as well as experience directing for the stage—have helped make her a bona fide storyteller.

Nixon plays a seriously ill mother in the critically acclaimed film James White, which premiered earlier this year at Sundance and will hit theaters November 13. Steve—the off-Broadway play she's directing—opens November 18.

From the Fast Company Innovation Festival stage in New York City on Monday, Nixon shared how she translates her own experiences into ultra-authentic performances—and manages to leave work behind to live a real life.
