I am constantly re-evaluating my goals and trying to strike items from my to-do list that aren't critical.

People challenge my nerd cred all the time. I just show them the photo of me winning my middle-school science fair, wearing my Casio calculator watch and eyeglasses so big they look like they can see the future.

I can't say that there's been some big change during my career where all of a sudden everything's totally colorblind.

I'd be plenty happy if I could keep playing scientists and cops for the rest of my career.

You will often be in despair. You will sometimes think it's the worst decision in your life. That's fine. That's not a sign your marriage has gone wrong. It's a sign that it's normal; it's on track. And many of the hopes that took you into the marriage will have to die in order for the marriage to continue.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

I was sent to a nice Church of England girls' school and at that time, after university, a woman was expected to become a teacher, a nurse or a missionary - prior to marriage.

I support marriage equality and oppose legislation that defines marriage as only being between a man and a woman.
