I like being prepared. When things are going on and I have to learn my lines at the last minute, I'm never quite secure enough to allow it to be spontaneous. So the more prepared I am, the more I'm able to kind of let it go . . .

It never occurs to me that I'd be intimidating to anybody. Maybe I should consider that.

I'm good at disguising my feelings.

Being a parent is the hardest thing in the world... the psychological toll it takes on you because these lives are in your hands. I take it very seriously.

People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.

I guess I sort of just feel like I am lucky.

If you're working on something that isn't very demanding, isn't very fulfilling, then you have all this energy to burn, and you can go crazy.
