I chase after inspiring stories.

And honestly, I don't think it's different for anybody. There's no right way to make sure your child will be emotionally and mentally healthier. It's just frustrating.

I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.

I look for struggle in the roles I choose - struggle and perseverance.

There's just a deeper level of sophistication in the writing of female characters on TV.

Chekhov, when it's done well and you're ready for it, can actually be quite funny.
