It's so weird that I play this woman who pretty much deals with violence on a daily basis, and I'm such a wimp in who I am.

"Married with Children" was racy, it was sexist, it was a lot of things, but mostly it was funny.

I was very rebellious.

I had to accept the fact that sometimes things happen that are out of our hands.

Um, I have an enormous faith in God. I have an enormous support system that also has that same belief.

Being a mother has been my greatest teacher and also the most self-sacrificing thing I've ever done.

I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, and a lot of folk music.

I loved Peg Bundy. I am so happy that I got to do that. It was really fun.

A red leaf danced from a branch like a dropping flame, down into the calm blue lake. A gust had broken it free. There was a cold bite in the wind. It was now deep autumn in the mountains.

I love fitness, yoga. I love fashion. On the weekends, I try to relax. I have pretty crazy weeks. I like spas and nice dinners. I'm not much of a club person. I like to hang on the beach in Malibu.

The church is like a swimming pool. Most of the noise comes from the shallow end.

When I am asked how I began writing poems, I talk about the indifference of nature.

To people in my industry I'm usually a guy that tries to generate his own projects and I remain very elusive when people try and attach me to big projects.

I think all of this—The Roots and DJing included—was meant to prepare me for The Tonight Show.

The perfect song on the perfect drive to make you feel infinite.
