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

I wanted to act; that was my one goal. I wanted to devote all my time to acting and not waitressing or anything else.

An addict is an addict. If they're not acting out in one area, it tends to come out in another. I think there was a time when I considered myself a work addict, but that's no longer accurate.

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

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.

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

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