Creatively I just enjoy challenging myself in different genres.

If I have a pocket, then I'll have lip balm, my keys, and $10 cash.

My biggest fantasy love affair was with Dustin Hoffman. It's so bizarre. Also Anthony Hopkins.

I don't think it's possible to have a wedding without it being stressful!

I know that in my family there are histories of violence that are internal family things and that are oftentimes dealt with internally. By internally, I mean inside the family group, but also partly inside ourselves. You know, self-hatred and hostility and rage and this cycle that won't break.

On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy, especially because I realize that, following the tragedies of this year, it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been.

In families there is always the mythology. My father died when my kids were quite young still, and yet they still tell his stories. That is how a person lives on.

My last son is leaving to go to college; my grandchildren are being born. My mother is living with me.
