As a working woman, thinking back to someone I'd want to see on TV growing up are women who can make something of themselves and their future.

The greatest impressions I have from watching 'Dynasty' were the fashion but, also, these women who had these very visceral emotions that they took out on each other for various reasons.

I remember very clearly when my dad first subscribed to HBO - 'Fraggle Rock' was a gamechanger.

We have to have humor to survive 22 episodes a year of network television.

I had a lot of conversations with my family, my close friends, with my pastor, with God, and kind of came to a revelation that maybe I should be honest with myself about who I am and let that person - this woman who has lived inside me for my entire life - finally have an opportunity to live.

More and more companies are updating their leave policies to reflect an understanding that being family-friendly is a smart investment in their workforce and America's future.

In a city like New York, especially for young professionals who aren't in a family situation, most people don't cook for themselves. This is the only city I've ever lived in where I eat out every night.

I always was a weird child. My mother told me the story that, in kindergarten, I would come home and tell her about this weird kid in my class who drew only with black crayons and didn't speak to other kids. I talked about it so much that my mother brought it up with the teacher, who said, 'What? That's your son.'
