Writers, actors, anybody working on an ensemble-type thing, there are going to be some creaks in the beginning. It seems like there's tremendous potential in just letting things sort of breathe a little bit. It's tremendously important.

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

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.

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.

The high-grossing films are not all that interesting to me, I have to say. It's not stuff I would want to be in. Yes, you would want the big paycheck, but that's never really been my concern.

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

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.
