I'm very grateful to have my kids in my life; they're my greatest teachers. But to pretend it's always easy is just not really true.

What I did find out because I grew up with a lot of chaos early on: sometimes, you're born into a family, and their norm is already in your red zone of dangerous feeling or feeling too chaotic. You don't get to really do anything about that when you're a kid.

I grew up with a lot of spirituality. It wasn't necessarily organized religion, because my mom was Jewish and my dad was Muslim. I went to Catholic school. There was a lot of conversation about comparative religions.

You always have to sign contracts for several years, if they want to pick you up. It's kind of a strange scenario. They have the option or not.

I'm kind of the long-hauler type of person. I also have a strong work ethic and gratitude for people that I work with.

I know that I've had a very fortunate life, but also I think my job as an actor is to connect emotionally to human beings.

There are a lot of parts of who I am that no one in the public has ever known, but the older I've gotten, the more I've appreciated my own strange little self and come to terms with that.
