I would never wanna do a show that's strictly maudlin and invaded my personal life and my home. I would never do that.

I think there are always different times in your life when you go, "Oh, god. I wish I were traditionally pretty. My life would be so much easier." But then you get through that, and you go, "Well, I'm not."

I've always gotten myself overly involved in supporting other women who've not always been as supportive in return.

Of course, everybody's family is dysfunctional - we've accepted that. What are we supposed to do? Hate our parents for the rest of our lives?

It's up to couples, to individuals, to have a trust between each other.

I'm very much an optimist. I don't think I could do my work if I didn't believe there was some kind of hope for humanity.

When you're watching the news, how many days in a row can you watch that and feel good about yourself and the world?
