The second you are handed a newborn it is yours. It doesn’t matter what body it came out of. I’ve never felt more strongly about anything in my life.

Obviously, it wasn't meant for me to die of cancer at 40. Every day my life surprises me, just like my cancer diagnosis surprised me. But you roll with it. That's our job as humans.

As a single mom, I'm juggling a lot and working long hours. Yes, it costs them a little, but what my children get in return is a mother who is energized and content.

I sort of love reading the scripts and going, 'Oh wow, what a great idea. I never would have thought of that.

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

My actual personality probably lies someplace between the two.

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