We need comedies in the world! We need to laugh, it's all so hard.

It's incredibly, incredibly difficult to get a movie made.

Skating is big in Chicago. There's a lot of hockey; a lot of the boys play hockey. And figure skating is big.

I want my kids to experience passion. I want them to see that I have things I feel passionate about because it is such a great feeling to really love something.

It's nice to be able to work; I'd love to be able to do another TV show I could do in Chicago so I could live and work in the same place. It's hard being a parent and being in a good marriage, and it all takes a lot of work, but if you're not there you can't do any of it.

Us gals need to stay in and just change the way it works, so men aren't being workaholics and avoiding life and relationships, and they can make films in a reasonable amount of time, so you can have a family and a life outside of work. And have more balanced, content-driven, enjoyable movies.

I think there's nothing better than laughing in life, so that's nice, to be thought of as someone who can make someone laugh. It's 'cause I think life is hard. You know, my dad was a really silly man. A great Irish silly man. And that's fine.
