I Am Lucky To Have Had An Attentive, Curious And Loving Dad And Heart-smart, Down To Earth, Gifted Mother. They Changed The Outlooks Of Their Own Lives And Have Never Forgotten The People And Organizations That Helped Them Dream Bigger Than Their Circumstances Should Have Allowed.

I Adore Going To Movie Sets And Being Part Of A Team Trying To Create Something. And Yet, I Hate To Miss Even One Bedtime With My Girls. . . My Sisters Both Are Working Mothers. I Understand That My Being An Actress As Well As Being At Home Isn't Some Heroic Thing. That Doesn't Mean It Isn't Confusing Or Difficult--especially That Question Of How You Find A Balance.

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... I Live My Life At These Two Extremes. I'm Either A Full-time Stay-at-home Mom Or A Full-time Actress.

I Think That It’s Not As Crazily Different, My Job, From Anyone Else’s, As People Let Themselves Believe. I Think People Get Wrapped Up In Their Own Idea Of What It Is, But It’s Really Not That.
