[Postpartum] is a raw time when you need your friends and family to swoop in in a very real way.

The only thing I really get snobby about is - not food or wine or certainly not television - I would say I get snobby about skin-care regimens and people taking care of their skin in the right way.

I think my real fear is that I will get to old age and think I spent too much time concerned about the way that I look and other bullshit. That's really a fear of mine.

That's one of my greatest strengths. I'm a Scorpio rising - we're very decisive. I'm very good at cutting things off that don't feel right.

That's my big fear, and not enjoying things as much as I could and realizing actually how awesome life is right now.

I'm certainly much happier when I feel that the work is good.

I was early in my career and didn't understand that people were looking at me and critiquing me yet.

I think, is a cultural thing, too. You know, everyone wants to see the baby. Everybody's bringing gifts for the baby.

I was like, "Everybody sees my characters. Nobody sees me!"

I'm more focused or try to be more focused on my acting and writing and comedy and let the other stuff fall where it may.

For me, I was the most vulnerable and needed the most in my postpartum experience and got the least. It was just kind of a drop-off. That would be my focus - on the woman, afterwards.

Rule number four for me as a writer? Plotlines are like sharks: They either keep moving or they die. ~J.R. Ward

Solving crimes is like following a spider web. Everything is connected in some way. It's just figuring out where things intersect so I can find the spider in the middle.

It is not good to have a rule of many.

We copied laws and regulations from western countries, but enforcement remains weak, and environmental litigation is still quite near impossible.

To handle the economy and services in a country like Iraq requires delegation of authority and the choice of competent people.

If God could make angels, why did he bother with men?

When you have another actor as your boss, they understand how to communicate easier sometimes than just a writer.

Your jobs come back under a Trump administration. Your income goes up under a Trump administration.

Art always demands of us something new.

I'm lucky because I have an athlete between my legs.
