Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, 'Hey, come see my play,' he'd say, 'Sure.' He'd see one, 'Oh, good play' - you know, very typical dad reaction.

I never felt cool growing up. I was a bit of an outsider, but I discovered theatre very early on, which got me through.

I love learning language and ideas that I didn't know before and making them sound like my own.

In the future, things will truncate! No, in the age of Twitter, we can't be upset when words become shorter.

You grow up and get married, and move away, but you're still a family. That's the way it will be with all of us on 'Happy Days.'

I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

The very idea of marriage is basic to recognition as equals in our society; any status short of that is inferior, unjust, and unconstitutional.

When Ben and I first got married and we first had kids, I felt I needed to prove we could still do it and I could still work separately from Ben and I could still work with him. I just let go of all of that now. I said to him, 'For me, a little bit goes a long way.'
