best
Melissa and I have the best working relationship, and we feel that Jack and Jennifer have so much more to do.
joy doodling want
For me, the joy of doing it is doodling when I want to. But if I had to do it, I'd lose the joy.
years tennis racket
I had not picked up a tennis racket in 15 years, so I tried.
school character
I played a lot of character parts in school.
kids pride laughing
I tried to laugh early on about ego and pride... I do something great and then I do something really dumb and then I laugh. You'll always be that kid.
nuts theatre prepared
I was prepared for the theatre, but not for the nuts and bolts.
two support towns
L.A. is not a town that supports a lot of theater. Most of the shows don't get through a week or two and then, the audience kind of disappears.
married pretending
Married relationships are not what we are pretending they are. It is not the '40s or the 50s anymore - we cannot pretend, things are changing.
laughing easy laugh-at-life
It's very easy for me to laugh at myself and laugh at life.
fun having-fun rare-things
It's a rare thing to find somebody you can work with, work off of, and have fun with.
character mirrors expression
When I draw a character, very often as I'm doing a face, my face mirrors the expression.
mother daughter worry
Actors worry about bad breath, weight, receding hairlines and why their leading lady looks like their daughter.
kids thinking eight
I think having eight kids evens things out a bit. You learn about the world; you learn about the world; you learn you've got to get along. We're all - if anything - very adjustable.
draws
I draw whatever hits me.
