mother kids home
Is it harder having kids and working? It definitely is, but the payoff is you get to go home to your kids, and it all balances out. And I know I'm a better mother when I'm engaged in something outside of the house.
thinking years numbers
I think there was a time when I considered myself a work addict, but that's no longer accurate. My life has changed so dramatically over the last number of years, especially having a family now. My priorities have shifted.
kids gay men
I have lots of friends and, like me, they're not married. So my kids have lots of godparents - men and women, gay and straight. My loft is always filled with people helping me out with them and loving them.
special comedy talent
I don't know what it must be like to be a writer in general, but to be a comedy writer, it's got to be something - it's a very special kind of talent.
people levels example
I don't have examples in my life of people who are all good or bad; I have deeply loved many people who are both, and I relate to those kinds of people on a far greater level.
thinking people
I've never been all that interested or aware of what people are thinking about me or saying about me. I think that has kept me safest and sanest.
laughter insane celebration
In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.
long sticks world
The world gets very small after a while, if you stick around long enough.
littles complicated good-and-bad
There's a little good and bad in everyone. Everybody I've ever loved is very complicated.
people costumes co-worker
With everything that you do, once the costume is on, and you're in the pretend hospital, and you're there with your co-workers, it all sort of snaps into place: Who you are, what it feels like, who these people are to you.
mother kids helping
Being a single mother was the right thing for me. But I have a tremendous amount of help from my friends. They're in love with my kids, and my kids are in love with them.
dog children believe
I have this dog named Marley, and it is a kind of love I had never known. I have a hard time believing Marley did not come from my body. I know that sounds insane, but I feel that connected to her. She made me realize I wanted to adopt children.
thinking actresses common
The common misconception is that as an actress you have to learn what you're doing. No, you just have to make the audience think you've learned it.
thinking acting accurate
An addict is an addict. If they're not acting out in one area, it tends to come out in another. I think there was a time when I considered myself a work addict, but that's no longer accurate.
