I'm a believer in the parent first, friend second philosophy, and trying to find that balance.

You never go into a marriage expecting to get divorced. You go into a marriage expecting it's going to last forever, and you have a lot of ways you dream about the future. You have all these expectations, and then you have to adjust those expectations, and it can be a very unnerving, confusing time.

I had this crazy job, though, when I first got to Los Angeles... I answered this ad in the back of the newspaper to be a telephone psychic, and I did that for two days.

When I'm writing my blog, I think of myself at 13 years old, back in St. Louis, daydreaming about Hollywood.

How precise you need to be when you're in a comedy, and the honesty you need and to have those two things meet up and have the execution just right, I always found very difficult.

With Irish drama, things are told with humor.

Comedy is one of my favorites, but I also want to get into drama and sci-fi.

I love comedy. I love the absurdity of it. I love the kind of intelligence that's required to be dumb in comedy.
