"I always, always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that, when I got a mini-series, I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob."

"It's about getting the kids up and fed, getting one to school, getting the other down for a nap, going to the grocery store, picking one up from school, getting the other one down for another nap, cooking dinner...

"My parents started with very little and were the only ones in their families to graduate from college. As parents, they focused on education, but did not stop at academics - they made sure that we knew music, saw art and theatre and traveled - even though it meant budgeting like crazy."

"No matter what, it is very tricky and difficult just to be a good parent at all. I have a lot of help. And for that I'm very grateful."

"War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can."

"Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game."

"We didn't lose the game we just ran out of time."

"I don't need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing."
