I got the role I loved the most at a point in my career when most women are being phased out.

At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.

Glamorized... am I glamorous?

I remember being in tears at the hospital after Chloe was born, at the thought that someday she would have to leave home.

After 4 years on NYPD Blue it has been nice to have the summer off and spend time with family and friends. There are a few projects I am interested in and plan to be working this fall.

The family is the nucleus of civilization.

If you come from a normal family, you immediately start playing the role of a boy, a girl a man or a woman, but I'm sure you'll agree with me that those are only roles, limited roles, at that.

Automation and technology would be a great boon if it were creative, if there were more leisure, more opportunity to engage in raising a family, providing guidance to the young, all the stuff we say we need. America will work if we're all in it together. It'll work when there's a shared sense of destiny. It can be done!
