mother laughter balls
Working mothers' laughter comes hardest when our double life is revealed for what it is: a juggling act in which the balls can drop at any time, invariably on our own head.
children kids giving
When you have kids, there's a tendency to put the marriage stew on the back burner and give it a quick stir now and then. But it's important to remember why you had children with this person.
sleep tired alternatives
You learned that if you're tired enough, you can sleep sitting up. That the unendurable is perfectly endurable if you just take it a minute at a time, and when the alternative is no more minutes ever...
return wells defined
In death, we are not defined by what we did or who we were but by what we meant to others. How well we loved and were loved in return.
suffering withdrawal symptoms
Anyone suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal symptoms will find an instant tonic.
laughing serious-business comedy
Comedy is a serious business. It's frustrating when I can't find the right thing that makes the crew laugh. If I don't make them laugh, I get very disappointed in myself. You don't really have a live audience, so you just depend on the crew to let you know if you're doing something funny.
character voice littles
It's a little weird accepting your voice coming out of an animated character. You don't buy it at first because it's your voice and none of us like our voices when we hear them recorded back.
eye listening acting
One of the things I love about acting is other actors, looking into their eyes, and working off them, and listening and responding to them.
acting want ends
I never stop. I don't want to stop acting because I'm afraid it'll all end, so I never say no.
nice recovery mean
I can't imagine trying to be in recovery. I mean it would be hard enough with just life going along in a nice way, but then when awful stuff happens, how you maintain the strength to get through it?
night thinking doctors
I always feel like a doctor who loses a patient on the operating table or something where I felt just devastated and I beat myself up until I get to try it the next night and "I'll get it better tonight." So I'm hard on myself. I think I'm not alone in that regard with acting.
phones planets worst
I'm the worst speller on the planet. I'm so glad for spellcheck on my phone.
believe political way
I'm not very comfortable being an actorvist so to get to do something that I believe in is a much more comfortable way for me to be political.
brother men world
I grew up with brothers. I love men. Of course it's hard to be a woman in a man's world.
