I'm the glue that holds everything together.

Basically, I see myself as a maker of things who knows how to support other makers of things. At the end of the day, I am just committed to helping put good stories out into the world in whatever role is appropriate and needed for that particular project.

My kids are my No. 1 priority. They're the light in my everyday life. The sunshine. The miracle. Those eyes. Those smiles. At the same time, I have an extended, amazing family that is my audience. All these people have been with me for such a long time. I have these two responsibilities.

I'm devoted to my family and my businesses.

I view myself as someone who is always trying to make life better in practical ways and putting the pieces together to do that.

My life is so filled with my children, my family, and the charitable work I do.

I'm actually living my life with the material I choose to work with.

I prize my seamstress, I value my copyist; but my cook, who knows well how to prepare the food to sustain life, and nourish brain, bone, and muscle, fills the most important place among the helpers in my family.

I think I'm a people person. I get very attached to people. And I've become so attached to all the people on my show, the cast, the crew and the producers.

I endeavor to make the most of everything.
