I'm just starting to realize the type of work that I want to do. Not everyone can fit into the sitcom world because it's so fast-paced, but it feels comfortable to me.
We live in New York. To be able to have a steady job and take your kids to school, and be around and work hard, is the perfect life.
You know, the irony is perfect. The world works in an interesting way, but we (were) both pretty busy that day.

I have bad-mom moments all the time. Sometimes I have the wrong reaction, but I try to remember to pull back and think about it. Even when I make the mistake, I'm able to then go, 'Oh, okay, let's do this again.'

I was the first child at four at a modeling agency, so I had an advantage.
I don't ever feel like I have it all together.
I don't like to leave my children for long periods of time. It's made me more picky about roles that are close, especially on television.
From the time I could speak, I knew I wanted to have children. It was just an innate desire.
