My mother raised three children on her own and my dad was a doctor working 16 hours a day.

In my own defense, I wrote a one-man show, and that to me was more where I fit.

I still have a dream of one day - I would love to hire a semi-retired contractor and just build a house - him and I building a house for me. I would truly love to do that.

I love my children beyond all reason. They're my joy, even when they're wild with kid energy.

But when you're a working actor - and that's what you keep saying in your head, how blessed you are to have a job - and you are working with heavyweights, working with the best guys in TV, it's pretty cool. Exhausting, but cool.

I'm always learning from experiences because each one is different and there are different players involved in the project at the time with their own way of doing things.
