So I Was Hugely Thrilled

I'm The Youngest Of Five Kids, And I Wanted Attention. And In Santa Barbara, There Was Lots Of Theater Going On, So For That Area, It Was A Little Bit Like Playing Little League Baseball. There Were Dance Classes, Theater Classes, And I Just Loved It.

Flying Back From New York, The Flight Attendant Said 'god, I Wished You Were Here Yesterday, We Had A Stroke On The Plane.' I Said, 'if I Have A Stroke On A Plane, I Hope The Pretend Doctor Isn't The One On The Plane. I Want A Real Doctor.'

So I Was Hugely Thrilled That My First Scene Ever On Camera Was With Hal Holbrook.

It's Difficult To Keep That Perspective, I Think, As A Parent: To Know Your Boundaries As To What's Good Parenting Or Just Projecting Your Own Expectations On Your Kids. That's The Hardest.

You Know, You Never Say Never Because Before I Did 'er,' I Always Said 'i'll Never Do A Tv Series,' So That's What I Said.
