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

I chase after inspiring stories.

I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.

I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them.

Sometimes I attract roles that are necessary either for personal growth or enlightenment.

I have a two-year-old who just turned three, and my four-year-old just turned five. I have the same irrational feelings taking them to pre-school. It's this charged combination of stress and joy and anxiety and excitement. When they're away, you've got a sudden loss of purpose and this ever-present fear about the kid's welfare. The departure of our children from our nest is not an easy thing.

Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
