“I was able to support myself by acting alone about six years ago. Until then, I was just scraping by.”
“I sort of love reading the scripts and going, 'Oh wow, what a great idea. I never would have thought of that.'”
“The world gets very small after a while, if you stick around long enough.”
“I don't have examples in my life of people who are all good or bad; I have deeply loved many people who are both, and I relate to those kinds of people on a far greater level.”
“The common misconception is that as an actress you have to learn what you're doing. No, you just have to make the audience think you've learned it.”
“I never really wanted kids. I didn't not want them, but motherhood just wasn't something that pulled at me.”
“And hey-the psychiatrist in the show is Italian also. So people are going to focus on what they want to focus on. There's not much you can do about that.”
“My friends started having children after college, while I was pursuing this crazy acting career and living hand to mouth. Plus, all my boyfriends were artists struggling to make a living. Having kids didn't make any sense - why would I take on more of a financial burden when I couldn't even afford a dog?”
“I was a young kid from Long Island who wanted to do something large with her life, so I can relate to that.”
“It's a very complicated issue, this fame thing - I was not really cut out for it. There are some really fantastic things about it, but it's difficult for a private person like myself.”
“Coming home to my family afterward makes the work richer, easier and more fun.”
“The second you are handed a newborn it is yours. It doesn't matter what body it came out of. I've never felt more strongly about anything in my life.”
“My kids have never seen me scream at anybody. They've never seen an argument. There's never been even a cold silence. And those are things that I grew up with because my parents did end up divorcing.”
“Writers, actors, anybody working on an ensemble-type thing, there are going to be some creaks in the beginning. It seems like there's tremendous potential in just letting things sort of breathe a little bit. It's tremendously important.”
“I love being able to take a nap in the afternoon.”
“I'm not sad about any of my life. It's so unconventional. It doesn't look anything like I thought it would.”
“In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.”
“I actually washed my window once, and it fell through - it was being held together by the dirt.”
“One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.”
“I wanted to act; that was my one goal. I wanted to devote all my time to acting and not waitressing or anything else.”
