I travel all the time, and I have two small children.

I like to work. I enjoy once a year, doing a film.

I just love to make a whole roomful of people laugh.

I'm not at a point in my life when I'm analyzing too much.

The work evolves when you get another part, and then you're getting called on to solve difficult characters, to inject a note of humanity into them. It's more interesting for me to do that than to stand around and be sunny.

I'm not really high-strung now, but I was a very high-strung child.

Every summer my husband and I pack our suitcases, load our kids into the car, and drive from tense, crowded New York City to my family's cottage in Maine. It's on an island, with stretches of sea and sandy beaches, rocky coasts, and pine trees. We barbecue, swim, lie around, and try to do nothing.
