I'm incredibly spiritual. There are like tens of thousands of denominations; I don't fit in any one of those denominations comfortably. But I have a very personal relationship with God.

I've done TV, but never where you're given this much time to live with a character, to study the tone and hone it and repair stuff, to go back and watch old episodes and go, "Oh no, that's a misstep. That's a victory. I should do more of that, less of that."

I can't get my knickers in a twist about my age and ageing in an industry that caters to the ids of 14-year-olds.

Editing is not a part of the filmmaking process I've ever been privy to as an actress.

But I think for me, why I was drawn to the piece is, at the core of the story, it's a love story to me - between Ed and Lorraine, between these two families who are asking for help and us who are in the business of giving help.

My husband is my best friend; he knows my sensibilities.

I bet you could look at every single thing I've ever done and reduce it to that parenting schematic.
