There are enough stories about my family. We have all been in the public eye.

I think that public service is tough on a family - no ifs, ands, buts about it. I have my own personal wishes, but they're not always front and center.

The way it works in our family is, it's the family business. Much like in the Mafia. Every child is given the opportunity to act at a young age and to learn what it's like to be in the business.

Most people don't understand that being in the public eye is emotionally exhausting. It takes a lot out of you.

I think families find a dynamic that works for them.

Families in real life don't tend to resolve things neatly.

Everything family does is reflection on the other people.

I'm endlessly fascinated with the ways families work and the ways they don't.

You know, we're very private, and I think that we really separate and try to keep our privacy to ourselves. There's things that people assume a lot of times, and we understand that people are interested, but we really try to keep our family life private as much as we can.

In my family, as in all dysfunctional families, instead of parents who act as strong and nurturing role models for their children, you get these needy people who use their children. I was the kid who tried to take on the marriage.
