When adversity strikes, that's when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back, stay strong, stay grounded and press on.
At Casablanca we did 'Midnight Express,' 'Flashdance,' and 'The Deep.' My willingness for risk has always been my strength.
The strength of 'Peep Show' has always been that that it's quite traditional, but it's obviously presented in a very new way.
Let a woman have her place, because as you provide foundation for her, she provides a foundation for you. And through that vulnerability comes strength.
I've been doing a lot of drama, but I feel like comedy is my strength.
I think my strength is always been in being very natural. I think Shakespeare and things like that would be more a stretch for me.
There's nothing better than live music. It's raw energy, and raw energy feeds the soul.
The first few weeks of being a mom were profound, not just emotionally but also, physically. All the changes you instinctually go through are miraculous.
I've done some version of that Minnesota accent - that Midwestern accent - in sketch comedy for years. It's the quickest way to symbolize you're a mom.
I've always wanted to be sure my parents approve of what I do. Even with my tattoos, my mom went with me.
I like to get a rise out of my mom with what I wear - I always go for the tallest heels or something super trendy.
The problem with me is, anything that's easy I will just overdo it. Especially with clothes. But I'm 14 - my mom is super-strict about that.
All four of my grandparents were educators, my mom was a school nurse, and I went through the public school system.
I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.
I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them.
I'm an actress and I want to act, and I'm a mom and I want to be with my kids, and it's trying to find a way to do both.
I auditioned on my own. I tried to make a mark for myself without anybody's help, not even Mom's.
Isn't it so weird the day you wake up and you're just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.
My mom and I had the same vision, and we want the same things. We would always make a goal list every year.
I like getting to be in the adult world a little bit and then getting to be in the mom world and cook dinners. And, for me, that balance is what makes it nice.
My memory of my mom is a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She was a runway fashion model, and she was quite a glamorous woman.
