I do make a conscious effort to not repeat old patterns, instead of being like, But they don't want me! I haven't always been that way.
Nobody knows how long you're going to have life on Earth, so you really have to work at being joyous and happy.
I'm healthy, I have beautiful children and a beautiful life. I don't want to go toward negative stuff because I'm scared.
I feel like there is this resurgence of amazing roles for women. It's because TV is so good - there are amazing parts for women on TV, and it's upped the game in movies.
There's so much to watch, I can't even keep up.
I barely have time to watch stuff that I'm in, or my friends' stuff. The bar for writing has really elevated and it's really exciting, it's not just parts for 25-year-olds.
I think that being a mother, you would do anything for your children. Their pain is your pain; if they're in pain, you feel their pain.
The love of a parent, that connection, it's eternal.
You can make the audience laugh, be funny and sad at the same time.
I think things get a lot better after high school. I think the ones that struggle during that time tend to have better experiences after.
I went to drama school at New York University.
I really love having lots of down time with my kids.
If it's not happening, write your own thing!
I actually went to college with Adam Sandler. He was a dramatic actor, too!
