Quotes
- “I was shaped by the '60s scene, the peace movement, , and free love. I had always felt I was born ten years too late. I would have been a good hippie.”
- “I am a huge theater junkie.”
- “Now I see the political and kind of sociological and monetary value to making women hate themselves. I really see it very clearly now, and I believe half of the American economy would collapse if women woke up one morning and just said, "I love myself." We have the fitness industry, the food industry, the plastic surgery industry, the clothes industry. When you think that there even has been introduced a size zero, it's like — do you want women to disappear?”
- “Now that I have a myriad of married friends, I’ve got to tell you, sometimes I feel lucky to be a single parent. So many of my friends have one or two children, but with their husbands, they have three children. Many of my friends envy me because it is just my son and me. Of course the downside is, it’s all on me–—the financial part, the physical part, the emotional part, and every single decision. Mostly that’s a plus, but sometimes I wish I had a little back up.”
- “Being an actor gives you a platform to try to effect change ... Being involved in social justice is the most amazing byproduct of what I do.”
- “It’s really interesting how people think that you are the characters that you play. I remember going to jury duty and some of the people who were waiting to see if they were picked on a jury said, ‘Well, why are you here? You’re a lawyer!’ I had to explain, ‘I’m just an actor but happy to give you advice,’ and then they were like, ‘Well I have a dispute with my neighbor’ and I’d think, ‘That’s really silly that they believe I’m a lawyer, even though I sort of believe I am too!’”
