I've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life.

I feel real ownership in this show. I feel very invested in it. I care very much about it. I don't feel any more like a hired hand, you know? It's a strange feeling - I feel personally responsible for how the story goes. What happens. What the weaknesses are. And so in a way, some of the changes gave me an opportunity to have a voice in a different way.

It's also show business. It's not "show fun friends".

Be truthful, say what you mean and mean what you say, don't ignore the given circumstances.

These days I have to be extra nice in stores. It never fails that whenever I look as bad as I can possibly look or I am sort of cranky because the store is out of something, that is precisely the time when someone one will recognize me and say: 'I really like your show.'

I would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.

Today is the day you have to start believing in yourself. No one can do it for you anymore.
