Mother elephants in the circus cannot help their babies, but we can.

One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.

I've never been all that interested or aware of what people are thinking about me or saying about me. I think that has kept me safest and sanest.

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

Writers, actors, anybody working on an ensemble-type thing, there are going to be some creaks in the beginning. It seems like there's tremendous potential in just letting things sort of breathe a little bit. It's tremendously important.

I don't watch a lot of television.

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