I love anything by Joan Didion. Incidentally, she was one of the local moms when I was growing up in Point Dume. She always reminded me a little bit of my mother, so I feel a great affinity. I love the precision of Didion's writing. There's a construction and a craftsmanship to her sentences that's imbued with so much emotion.

Somewhere in my callow, misspent youth, I was smart enough to marry my best friend.

If I had been on 'Ally McBeal,' I would have been seen coming out of the shower on the first show.

The challenge as a parent is letting your kids fail in the right ways because that's where we do most of our learning.

My mother and father met at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He was a senior and she was a junior, and their marriage didn't last very long.

A sense of humor is great - it goes a long, long way in a marriage.

The world has changed and it's going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship than a good marriage.
