“It’s no doubt changed my life,” Jeffery expressed (via ET). “You have to understand, my life is I get up and I come from my life and I go onto a set and I become Maura, and I’m very grateful. But at the end of the day, you would think I took off my costume as a performer but you never take off Maura. That’s the beauty of what they have created here.”

“Acting is personal and you act as if your life depends on it,” Jeffrey added. “[Maura's] made me a better person, a better parent, a better citizen.”
