open
Well, yeah, but I probably wasn't as open about my desperation.
blind exactly excited knew living maybe signing
To some extent, she did. She knew who he was, and I think that was part of what excited her about him. She didn't know exactly what she was signing up for, maybe she didn't know how it would feel to be living this life. But she was not blind to what was going to be happening.
character downs finding follow imagine thrill ups
You get to follow the same character through a lot of the same ups and downs that you go through in your own life. I can't imagine any place else where you get to do that and what a thrill it is. It's not about finding the character any more. It's about actually being in it and going where ever she goes.
jobs cancer diagnosis
Obviously, it wasn't meant for me to die of cancer at 40. Every day my life surprises me, just like my cancer diagnosis surprised me. But you roll with it. That's our job as humans.
giving actors scripts
But I've always been hard to cast, I've never been an ingenue, I've never been the romantic lead. I'm an actor; give me the script and I do what I do and hope it's good.
looks unconventional
I’m not sad about any of my life. It’s so unconventional. It doesn’t look anything like I thought it would.
fun games impact
Addiction has had such an impact on my life and the people I love, and there really is not a lot about it that is funny. So the last thing I wanted was to give the impression that it's all fun and games, and isn't it funny what she gets away with.
dog children believe
I have this dog named Marley, and it is a kind of love I had never known. I have a hard time believing Marley did not come from my body. I know that sounds insane, but I feel that connected to her. She made me realize I wanted to adopt children.
kids gay men
I have lots of friends and, like me, they're not married. So my kids have lots of godparents - men and women, gay and straight. My loft is always filled with people helping me out with them and loving them.
special comedy talent
I don't know what it must be like to be a writer in general, but to be a comedy writer, it's got to be something - it's a very special kind of talent.
laughter insane celebration
In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.
littles complicated good-and-bad
There's a little good and bad in everyone. Everybody I've ever loved is very complicated.
sobriety actors better-person
There is no question that sobriety has made me a better actor, made me a better person.
running block kids
I grew up as a tomboy. I was always barefoot, running races with the guys on the block, climbing trees, and beating kids up.
