I was kind of secretly hoping one of my kids would go out and make a million bucks. So when they put me in a home, at least I'll have a window with a view.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
I'll talk to kids afterward and somebody will always say, 'I'll leave my bedroom window open for you.
The truth is, if anyone saw my home life, I'm pretty sure it would look like other families' around the world. There's a lot of juggling to be done.
Instead of dumping all my money on an independent film that nobody would watch and most people would make fun of behind my back, I decided, 'I'm just going to buy a house.'
Hey, the TV was my friend. As a child, I always said, 'I want to live in there someday.'
My kids wouldn't dream of buying a newspaper - and we are a newspaper household.
The kids don't really have any part of my television life. Fortunately, there aren't many times when show business intrudes on our family existence.
I'm very lucky. I am one of those people who is able to go home, shut the front door and completely focus on the kids.
I'm afraid of buying a house or anything, 'cause if there's one paparazzi outside for one day, then they'll never leave.
When I was doing all this acting stuff, all these kids, like, assumed, 'Oh, my God, you're on TV, and you probably have a lot of money.' And I was living in a garage.
