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

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

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.

We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me, I just followed my parents around on their errands; when they were busy on the phone, I was quiet. It's a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house, and you listen to their music, and you go to their appointments.

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.

I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys.
