Don't try to start a career in LA, unless money is all you're interested in.

I go to St. Matthews in Pacific Palisades, an Episcopal Church.

Well I'm a longtime AOL subscriber and I love the whole thing. I'm an email junkie and I love the internet, though 7th Heaven doesn't give me much free time to surf these days.

I'm working on a new novel, in its 3rd draft, but it's hard to write while doing 7th Heaven.

I have an almost seven year old... I think it's essential to be consistent with kids. And truthful, without scaring them. I could go on for hours on this one.

Bit parts in Mediocre TV shows won't develop your acting chops.

Writing a book is such a full-time job. If you're away for a few days, you have to start again.

I'm from the US of A. Born in Des Moines, raised in the New York suburbs.

The process of doing plays will make you an actor.

There are many exceptions, but New York is a great place to start a career.

I can't come on like a parent to these kids, if I do, I won't be able to have fun working with them. The good news is they all have parents. The younger ones, their parents by law have to be on set.

How do you measure the life of one person against the greater good? Can it ever be the right thing to sacrifice an innocent person? And how do you know what the greater good really is?

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your gold and good health have vanished.

The greatest asset, even in this country, is not oil and gas. It's integrity. Everyone is searching for it, asking, 'Who can I do business with that I can trust?'

My mother used to say that there are no strangers, only friends you haven't met yet. She's now in a maximum security twilight home in Australia

My husband jokes that I'll invite people over for dinner and he won't know who they are or where I met them. But in my work world, I've never really been tempted to tell too much of my story.

Basically, I got into stand-up because I'm too egocentric to be an actor and not disciplined enough to be a writer.

Environmental issues are on everyone's mind. It's part of our culture now and I can only applaud and laud anyone who is doing what they can and raising awareness.

If a figure doesn't look back at you, you forget it.

I would rather smoke one cigar than hear two sermons.

We have no physical model of this endless rhythm of individuation and involvement, we do have its image in the world of art, most purely in dance.
