Do what makes you happy. And when it doesn't make you happy anymore, make a change -- without fear.

So my son is very curious, which is fantastic. He loves school. So I don't have to encourage him too much, but I love to do it because I know it's meaningful and words are powerful.

Oh it's fantastic because I get to whip people like David into shape and tell them to go get me coffee. Kidding - okay.

Well first of all I was nine weeks pregnant at the time and no one knew it. So it was - it had a whole other meaning for me not just because I had to let the dress out, you know, every few days before the actual day. But, you know, because that was the, you know, more important than anything else that was going on in my life. But in terms of actually winning I think I had been nominated four or five times before then. And every one of my co-stars had won up until that point.

Okay well - no that is a very real thing seven-year-olds asking for BlackBerrys and cell phones and things like that. And that's one of the things I love most about the show [The Starter Wife] is the social satire.

You just hope that you will get the opportunity to do what you love and pay your bills, and that is being a success as an actor.

It's the job that I take most seriously in my life and I think it's the hardest job.
