I'm a very ritualistic, routine-oriented person, and I discovered over the years that I love working Monday through Friday.

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

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.

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.

There's a little good and bad in everyone. Everybody I've ever loved is very complicated.

In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.
