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

It's hard to notice things without people noticing me and that takes some getting used to.

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

I've never been all that interested or aware of what people are thinking about me or saying about me. I think that has kept me safest and sanest.

I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys.

I love being able to take a nap in the afternoon.

Being a single mother was the right thing for me. But I have a tremendous amount of help from my friends. They're in love with my kids, and my kids are in love with them.
