Throughout my career I've played a lot of parts that might've been played by a man. They're human roles rather than specifically men or women. I've never been as hooked into that as a lot of women are, you know, like, 'There aren't enough roles for women.' There aren't necessarily a lot of good roles for anybody.

I wanted to act; that was my one goal. I wanted to devote all my time to acting and not waitressing or anything else.

There were a lot of times I wondered if I was deluding myself. I had nothing else to fall back on, but I never enjoyed anything else.

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 don't want to leave New York and leave my family. I don't like the distance. I just did a movie in California and it's kind of excruciating to be away from them so I think there is that sense.

Barbara Broccoli was a great friend of my late wife's and continues to be someone who is very gracious with me, my family, and our life.

Some children's music is aimed just at kids, and it can be very childlike.

Ultimately, very few people parent their kids in ways that strike anybody else as reasoned, appropriate or sane.
