I was 17 when I left the small Maine town where I'd grown up. I wanted to do something I thought was important with my life, so I headed to California and didn't look back.

I love having a big family. I think it's easier, oddly, in some ways, having three children as opposed to one.

I look forward to a time when my career in a place where I can get out of Los Angeles and find a nice small town like I grew up in to raise my family.

I grew up in a house full of women. I have two older sisters and my mum who is a very strong woman.

With competition there is always ego and hubris... competition gets in the way of work.

Drama is easier to do because you just have to have the emotion and not get caught acting, but comedy is much harder.

Kids take you outside your comfort level because you ask yourself, 'How do I answer that question for them?' You think back to your childhood, and it's like: I don't want to give them that, I want to give them this. My life is my children.
