When my dad needed a shirt ironed, he would yell downstairs to my mother, who would drop everything and iron his shirt.

I'm a New Yorker, and I rarely get to work at home.

I have not spent years in therapy; I tried therapy in my mid-twenties, and it did not go very well. I just thought, 'This is so not for me. I would rather talk to one of my girlfriends.' I'm not at a point in my life when I'm analyzing too much. I have young children, and I'm just pretty much crazed.

I haven't frequented a nail salon in a long time.

I have a husband and children, and it affects me deeply that somebody could be taken away in a second.

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 feel like I'm one of the happiest people I know.
