My actual personality probably lies someplace between the two.

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 think that you do get a little extra jolt of confidence when you win an Emmy.

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

There's a little good and bad in everyone. Everybody I've ever loved is very complicated.

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.

The common misconception is that as an actress you have to learn what you're doing. No, you just have to make the audience think you've learned it.
