Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal.

That's the wonderful thing about drama and writing and fiction: it's this wonderful shared experience that we all have. We can see into each other's lives.

I was an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up.

Before I had my child, I thought I knew all the boundaries of myself, that I understood the limits of my heart. It's extraordinary to have all those limits thrown out, to realize your love is inexhaustible.

I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.

I certainly know I have been blessed with much more empathy than I ever knew I would feel for other people.

As one does with a first child, I found out that my baby could roll by hearing the sound of her body hit the ground at 4 a.m. and obviously, for any new parent, that is the most horrifying thing that could happen, right? You're exhausted and you take your tiny little baby out and you put them on the bed to change diapers before nursing and you turn around and you discover... my baby can roll! And you think you're going to die.
