Motherhood was my career. I'm totally satisfied with that.

What's great about TV, and what I love about being on 'Parenthood,' is you have this family. I'm now going on four years of working with the same 100 people, and that helps you feel like your life has more roots. It's more conducive to having a family, and you're staying in town. So that part is amazing.

Fatherhood is a joy. I feel very lucky to have a family. It gives you a perspective on things.

The older I get, the happier my childhood becomes.

I'm happy that I took time off to become a mom and raise my daughter properly and build a bond between the two of us.

Motherhood is an amazing feeling, and if you get to relive those special moments while working, it works as an icing on the cake. Kids have always been close to my heart, and working with them is a pleasure for me.

I am just happy that I have children. I don't care what they want to do!

Working 14 hours a day until you're 55 and missing your kids growing up is not what I would consider a recipe for happiness.

I feel so lucky to have lived the life that I did and to be surrounded by the people I love. I've got eight kids, and they're always laughing all the time. It's like music to my ears. I think that my frame of mind these days is probably happier than I've ever been, which is kind of odd, coming close to the finish line.

I'm never happier than when I'm with my family.
