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

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

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.

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.

We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me, I just followed my parents around on their errands; when they were busy on the phone, I was quiet. It's a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house, and you listen to their music, and you go to their appointments.

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

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