But I've always been hard to cast, I've never been an ingenue, I've never been the romantic lead. I'm an actor; give me the script and I do what I do and hope it's good.

As a single mom, I'm juggling a lot and working long hours. Yes, it costs them a little, but what my children get in return is a mother who is energized and content.

I sort of love reading the scripts and going, 'Oh wow, what a great idea. I never would have thought of that.

I'm just not one of those people who thought having biological children was that important, to me it was more about wanting to raise a child.

There is no question that sobriety has made me a better actor, made me a better person.

I've watched those shows my whole life - being on one is like a dream. It's hard to balance that dream with the fact that this is the Edie I've known my whole life.

It's a very complicated issue, this fame thing - I was not really cut out for it. There are some really fantastic things about it, but it's difficult for a private person like myself.
