People lived in the same apartments for years. You'd meet a group of kids in kindergarten, and you'd still be with them in high school. No one ever left the neighborhood.

I like to cook, walk on the beach, go to concerts and look at fine art.

I've lived, laughed, lost, and loved again the whole Shakespearian thing.

I started as a teenager going up on commercials.

And remember, it's also very funny, because side by side with grief lies joy.

Well, every time I get ready to do a job I want to lose weight.

I've lived three lifetimes in my short time.

I have very eclectic taste in music, but when it comes to going to concerts, I like going to rock concerts.

If we don't empower ourselves with knowledge, then we're gonna be led down a garden path.

I'm very involved in the writing on every level.

Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it's hard to go back to sleep.

Though I'm not religious in the classical sense I did partake in Passover.

Every time you go to the doctor and get a good report, the odds keep staking more in your favour.

I like writing better. Because I don't have to wear makeup, I don't have to be thin, and I don't have to remember lines.

My clothes are predominately black and my home is predominantly white.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.

Well I could have been just a writer. I had been a hair dresser. I could have stuck with that.

You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing, and talking about it is really helpful, because the more you talk the more your fears fade, because you get it out.

I have been dairy free for several years, and I started because I felt it was going to reduce my allergies, which it did, and help me lose weight, which it did.

I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed the money.

Well, my favorite color I guess I would say yellow.

Since my illness, I've felt the presence of my angels.

If I go to a concert or sporting event I usually go in a VIP entrance. And leave the same way.

I choose the places I go to carefully and wisely. I'll rarely go to a shopping mall anymore.

I've gone very far, far away, but my character keeps me close to home.

Life is precious and there's not a lot of room for anger.

I was popular. I wasn't the most popular. But I definitely held my own.

I don't go to places where I'm going to get mobbed.

People lived in the same apartments for years. You'd meet a group of kids in kindergarten, and you'd still be with them in high school. No one ever left the neighborhood.

I had my moments when I got very frightened that I would not recover.

I told her I wanted a plastic surgeon to sew me up, and I wanted her to freeze my ovaries, so I could harvest the eggs and have a biological child through a surrogate.

It was a small provincial place with great people and I had a happy childhood growing up in Queens.

Once you wake up and smell the coffee its hard to go back to sleep.

Illness is the great equalizer. It doesn't matter who you are, rich or poor, young or old, fat or thin, sick is sick.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.

My kids enjoy the Disney program, Lizzy McGuire.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

I think having eight kids evens things out a bit. You learn about the world; you learn about the world; you learn you've got to get along. We're all - if anything - very adjustable.

We're parents first, and once you have kids, everybody knows that you have priority lists. Number one is your family and everything else just kind of finds its place.

I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.

If kids like a picture book, they're going to read it at least 50 times. Read anything that often, and even minor imperfections start to feel like gravel in the bed.

Sounds so silly, but I want to accomplish getting my kids through college.

And there's a lot of that stuff with people bringing their kids, kids bringing their parents, people bringing their grandparents - I mean, it's gotten to be really stretched out now. It was never my intention to say, this is the demographics of our audience.

It's up to each person's parents whether they think it's too frightening or too violent, how much their kids can handle, what they want to teach them, what they want to show them.

For kids it's natural to be competitive.

I'd hope to reach any kid who feels apart from the group - those who seem to be outsiders, who feel different. Kids who want to reach their parents often don't know how to do so.

So, not only am I panicking over the weekend if I need to know my lines, but also if can I get the kids to the zoo. Can I even go to church? I was asking for certain things that would allow me to plan my life a little better.

The real question isn't whether you love your kids or not, but how well you are able to demonstrate your love and caring so that your children really feel loved.
