I never used gender as my crutch. Many women don't use gender as a crutch.

In politics, during my organisational roles, I have never seen gender bias within my organisation.

Let me very proudly say that as a television actor, I never, ever saw any gender bias.

Industry people do know when a PR movement plays out. The issue is that it is an insult to our intelligence when those who are doing the PR thing presume that we are not wiser.

I don't have a ton of experience, because I date with the intent to marry... It's how I want a family and how I would want someone to treat my daughter.

My family always believed in me, even when I didn't. Having that love and support made me not afraid of failing. I knew my mom would be proud of me just for taking a chance and pursuing my dream.

The 'Cheers' family seemed like my family.

I do find the sibling connection endlessly fascinating, as I do all family dynamics. I like how siblings seem to create their own parentless mini-civilization within a family, one that has its own laws, myths, language, humor, its own loyalties and treacheries.
