My mother's whole family had been from the theater, really. Because I grew up in Hollywood, I wasn't that interested in Hollywood. But the New York theater was completely exotic and fabulous to me.

In television, the creator is really the voice...

I'm always perversely attracted to characters that seem one thing, but are ultimately revealed as another...

My parents kept us sheltered from this world of Hollywood. I don't have any great memories of bouncing on Cary Grant's knee or something like that

My two daughters live on Facebook and social media is their mode of communication.

You can say the president's private life takes up so much of his time that he doesn't focus on his job, so therefore he's terrible.
