It Just Sort Of Euthanizes Any Hope Of More Diverse Examples Of The Emotional Realities Of People.

You'll Never Have Any Mental Muscle If You Don't Have Any Heavy Stuff To Pick Up.

One Of My Favorite Parts Of Myself Is My Motherhood Aspect, It Just Turned Out To Be The Best Thing About My Life [laughs], The Most Rewarding And Deepening, So I Have A Delight In Portraying Mothers.

Blessings Come In Disguise. And Challenges Can Be A Blessing.
