Your relationship with your sister-in-law is hingeing on your brother's - or your sister-in-law's - ability to keep that relationship together.

I'm always going to be looking for something artistically or whatever. I think that's part of being driven, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm unhappy.

I think people have certain preconceived notions of certain people that they've never met. And so, that's sort of what I try to work from.

I found a very comfortable style in that if I know everyone's job around me, it's going to make me better at my job.

I worked all through my 20's, all through my 30's, so I've been lucky to be working.

My daughter is 12, and we have an amazing relationship. She knows without a doubt that she can literally come to me with anything, and I will stifle myself and realize that if it's not what I want to hear, it's more important that she continues to come to me and tell me things and is honest with me than me getting mad at her or giving her my opinion right now. She has figured out a way to make me an amazing parent. She's a wonderful daughter.

At 36, I think I was pretty happy [actually], but here's the thing that I think happens... you're expected to be somewhere at 36, and there's that feeling: At this particular age - especially for women for God's sake - you should have this many kids, you should have a husband, or you should have this... and it's overwhelming. So that perpetuates the feeling that no matter where you are, no matter how much money you have, no matter how many kids you have, no matter how great they're doing, whether you want kids or not, married or not, it doesn't matter - you feel behind.

I'm still waiting for somebody to wake me up.

There are people that have watched everything I've done, which is so sweet. Sometimes I'm grateful for that; sometimes I feel like I have to apologize.

I have a pretty close family and there are certain similarities - maybe a lot of families have this - where geographically, we're separated, so there are times when one family member will be needing a lot at one particular moment, so everyone rallies around that particular family member. Then there are other moments where, if [the family is] okay, I might not talk to my brother for two or three weeks, but then if I get him on the phone at five in the afternoon, it feels like we spoke that morning.

Some relationships are stronger than others at certain times.

Sometimes we'll only see each other in passing, like ships passing in the night.

When people are fanatical about something, it's contagious.

I took a lot from friends, but also me.

I wish I had been more self-aware earlier, but I think that just comes with age.

I have no problem at all taking my shirt off to tell a story.

I would tell myself the same thing that I continue to tell myself today, which is don't sweat the small things.

I love acting, and so whenever I get the opportunity to act, I'm happy. I'm easy to please when it comes to that kind of stuff. I don't know what I'd do without it.

I have a 12-year-old daughter, and all the time people will say, 'Oh, she's young!" and you'd be so surprised what you can learn from that 12-year-old if you just opened up your mind.

I have the greatest fans. I have fans that come from soap opera world, I have fans that come from superhero world, which are a whole different section of fans. They're so cool.

People that are interested in me, I like to be interested in them.

We need people interested, otherwise literally the lights turn off.

When you find any great project - if it's onstage or it's a movie or a television show or whatever it might be, if it's wonderful, then that sort of transcends what the medium is.

I love theater, I would love to do a play, but it's hard to beat.
