One of my favorite parts of myself is my motherhood aspect, it just turned out to be the best thing about my life [Laughs], the most rewarding and deepening, so I have a delight in portraying mothers.

I think I'd be in an entirely different business if it were easy.

I love the rebelliousness of snail mail, and I love anything that can arrive with a postage stamp. There's something about that person's breath and hands on the letter.

I love my work, but there is no price you can put on what you miss when you are away from your kids.

When I was about seven, I started touring the globe as part of New York's La MaMa theater company - without my parents!

When I was growing up in New York City, my father was a taxi driver for a time.

I grew up loving horses. I was relatively obsessed, starting with my rocking horse at age 2, all the way through my painting and drawing phase.
