Debra recently opened up to Ladies’ Home Journal about her divorce to Daniel Zelman.

“I think the institution of marriage is a noble thing. I think the idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we’re living to 100. A hundred years ago, people were dying at age 37. Til death do us part was a much different deal,” Debra said.

“It’s a very long time,” she added. “And I am at peace with the journey we’ve had. I feel like the 20 years we had together has been a huge success. And despite the fact that everything is changing, I think everyone is thriving.”

Debra Messing is white hot in Elie Tahari on the cover of Gotham‘s March issue.

Here’s what the 43-year-old actress had to share with her pal, designer Michael Kors, who interviewed her for the mag:

On scoring her Smash gig: “When I got the call that said I was offered the part, I shrieked, and all hell broke loose. It all felt bashert [destiny]. I thought, here’s a creative team, everyone is at the top of their game, and I’m going to learn something every day working with these people. I’m going to be pushed and challenged, and it seemed really exciting.”

On returning to her musical theater and New York roots: “I wanted to be a hoofer, I wanted to be a musical theater girl. My journey went a different way, but it’s come full circle. The fact that I can act in a TV show that’s entirely of that world, I literally could not have written a dream project for myself, concept-wise, more exciting than this one.”
