When you're a woman with a certain amount of fame and money, you are never certain what someone's motives are.
From Patricia Richardson
I really was about to pass out during my entire wedding. I just didn't know if I could marry anybody.
People who meet me think of Jill and transfer her strong qualities to me.
But then my mother, who's a very selfless, stoic person from a family of Marines, would tell us that what was good for our father was good for us - he would make more money; therefore, we'd be able to get better educations.
I don't understand that, because I think that what people like most about the show is that they recognize themselves in the characters and their problems, so the more believable the family is, the more we can draw the audience in.
It was extremely hard going from being a parent of one to a parent of three, because now all these instant decisions have to be made about how you balance out the time and attention between them.
I know it's a lot harder for women who don't have enough help, but the truth is, no matter how much money you have, if you want to stay involved with your children and don't want to lose being a primary parent to them, you're still in the game.
I still get the kids to the doctor and dentist and plan their play dates and buy their clothes.
Good actresses can often accomplish miracles, and it is possible to be someone you've never been or will be. But in a sitcom, there's no time.
I always hated perfect TV moms because I always thought that was unrealistic.
