But I'm trying not to be cynical - I don't want to be one of those people who has a cool opportunity and blows it. It's really amazing what's happening to me.

I don't want to speak for all people who don't have children, but maybe there's a discomfort with kids and the amount of attention they demand, by just being the age that they are.

When I sign on to a television show, I have to love that show and character so much, but this [Mistresses] was in and out, for seven episodes. And it was nice to be able to make some money again because I hadn't work in a year and a half. There were a lot of pluses.

Televisison is like a factory line. You need discipline and focus. You have to hit your mark and know your lines. It's not that I don't know my lines when I do a film, but the pace of discovery is always a little bit more relaxed and nurturing and almost babying, in a way. Television toughens you up, and I like that, but I don't want it to toughen me up too much.

I was more wishy-washy in the first 12 years of my career, just because that was my personality.

I was always interested in doing it, but I was so content with my life that I didn't really go after it.

I'm a little bit more of a relaxed, lazy mother.
