I've got three daughters and I'm going to stand up for them and support them in whatever they want to do.

I'm just confused as to where we lost that in America because it is everyone's God-given right to think the way they think and that's fine. That's why our ancestors came here to America, to believe what they want, pray how they want and follow a religion with whoever they want.

I keep waiting, like in the cartoons, for an anvil to drop on my head.

We’re all women. We all have the same wonderful situations happen to us, the same horrific situations. We all get our hearts broken.

Kyra Sedgwick told me, 'Keep your heart where your feet are' and that's incredibly difficult to do. It takes a lot of concentration. You've got to be conscientious of each other.

I don't want to be unapproachable.

You don't often get what you ask for, and I got exactly that. I got a show that was on cable, that I could shoot five months a year and go be mommy the rest of the time, and be with a cast and crew that I really, really love, adore and respect. I got all of that.
