I don't have examples in my life of people who are all good or bad; I have deeply loved many people who are both, and I relate to those kinds of people on a far greater level.

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.

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

The world gets very small after a while, if you stick around long enough.

I was a young kid from Long Island who wanted to do something large with her life, so I can relate to that.

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.

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