I really am profoundly grateful just in general in my life. I've had an embarrassing amount of good fortune.

I'm an old-school, embarrassing Joni Mitchell fan. Her music made a hook in my soul and hasn't let go for all these years. I even sing her songs as lullabies to my kids.

I never really wanted kids. I didn't not want them, but motherhood just wasn't something that pulled at me.

One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.

With everything that you do, once the costume is on, and you're in the pretend hospital, and you're there with your co-workers, it all sort of snaps into place: Who you are, what it feels like, who these people are to you.

Coming home to my family afterward makes the work richer, easier and more fun.
