I'm an obsessive hiker and I do it every day for two hours and it really helps me when it comes to learning songs or scripts.

People on both sides of any conflict believe they are right, whether it's on a TV show or in the real world.

My wife will tell you that if you feel my hands before I walk on for a performance, you could chill a bottle of wine.

We need to learn to accept and certainly mourn any harm that comes to any human being on this earth. But we also need to not be vengeful.

I always knew I wanted to have children. When I met my husband, Rande, I thought, 'This is the guy.' When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.

I have enormous respect for people who come from a strong family background in Fine Gael.

I admire but don't envy people who have children and also have big, wonderful perfect houses. Maybe Martha Stewart could do it; to me those two things aren't compatible, but I know our children will grow up with a feeling that home is a place of comfort.

I don't want to leave New York and leave my family. I don't like the distance. I just did a movie in California and it's kind of excruciating to be away from them so I think there is that sense.
