My dad was an alcoholic, growing up, so I knew how scary that was from a child's perspective - the volatility.

I feel like I'm getting the best parts of my career in my 50s.

I've crafted a really weird career for myself.

I don't think I would have had much of a career if I didn't have my son.

I got married at 24. It was an arranged marriage.

When I was doing comedy in New York, before I was in movies, I was never known as the deadpan actress. I was just a comedienne.

It's great extremes which leads to great drama and great comedy.

It's always inspiring to me to meet people who feel that they can make a difference in the world. That's their motive, that's their passion... I think that's what makes your life meaningful, that's what fills your own heart and that's what gives you purpose.
