At first I missed it but it was the amazing energy thing that happened during shows when a lot of people were like Yay Yay Yeah! I missed that for a while. But I don't miss the regular and the business side of that whole thing.

The Academy Awards was an amazing night. I know I kind of lost my mind a little bit. I apologize for that. That night went so fast I can't remember what I said or what happened.

It was amazing that during rehearsals without any of the costume on the character was there complete. It just happened. Half the time I didn't know I was doing it.

When we'd suggested doing it the Theatre Royal management had said 'Nobody wants to see Waiting for Godot.' As it happened every single ticket was booked for every single performance and this confirmation that our judgment was right was sweet. Audiences came to us from all over the world. It was amazing.

Being a mother is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me in my life.

Everything that has happened to me has been amazing and surprising.

Fatherhood is the most amazing thing that could ever have happened in my life.

I thought after the Pulitzer at least nothing will surprise me quite that much in my life. And another one happened. It was quite amazing.

It is amazing to think after all that has happened in this country in the last few years the last few decades that so many people have this blind faith that government is our friend and therefore so we don't need protections against it.

You can lose a game but I see guys every week including myself you lose a game it's a tough loss you're down two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it's amazing how down you were but all of the sudden you're like it never happened.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front there with the screen so big a little kid all alone and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

I have worked very hard on being aware of my childhood but moving forward and not letting it bring me down emotionally. That is a hard thing - especially when you have children of your own and you remember what happened to you at that age.

I came of age believing that no matter what happened I would always be able to support myself.
