I was a huge 'Star Trek' fan. I loved the 'Twilight Zone' growing up. In the future, I hope to create some thoughtful, sci-fi drama.

I'm wide open to getting married, but actors are not easy people to date. You end up sharing that person with this other mistress that is their career. I very much like the traditional courtship method of making a date. That's what they do in normal places, but Hollywood's not normal.

There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith.

When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.

I was fortunate enough to have my kids early, so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.

I would have liked to play in New York and be close to my family and friends, but since there is nothing I can do about it, I really don't care where I go.

I'm thinking, 'Man, there's this whole other group of people that are attached to me because of my last name and my family's roots.' That's pretty cool. That's special, that's a lot of power and it's important.

Family is 100 per cent my top priority.
