I guess I'm not that aware of such a big fan base. I have a few core people who write me no matter what I'm doing, but I hardly have sacks of mail being dropped on my door!

I take the kids skiing every year, and my husband doesn't always go. The way I grew up, that's very normal. My mom would take us skiing, but my dad hates cold weather.

I read books more than I go out. As a matter of fact, I get a little concerned about some of my anti-social habits. I will choose a night with Somerset Maugham or Russell Banks over a crowded bar any day.

We've had four or five casts in three years. There was a point when I thought the Department of Children and Family Services was going to show up at my door!

I'm most certainly not the Beatles.

I had many decades of me time and now I just don't have that anymore. There are days when I rail against it.

I live alone with my one dog and they say it like it's a sad, it's a terrible thing. This woman lives alone with her two cats.
