With my stepson, it is very important to me that there is no drama around the fact that he has two families.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it's cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.
The idea that the family is this locus of support but can also hold you back and keep you down makes for good drama.
A family is very special. So when a family splits up, it's not good, it's never good.
Sibling relationships are complicated. All family relationships are. Look at Hamlet.
One thing that we decided very early in the relationship is that when he goes, we all go - the whole family.
My stepson is a caring, considerate, worthy human being.
To tell you the truth, in the old Jewish shtetls, if your husband died, sometimes they'd have you marry the brother, and my grandparents were actually stepbrother and stepsister.
One wants to be together with one's family. That's what families are about.
It takes a lot of courage as an actor to take time off for family. But family is everything.
Family is not an important thing. It's everything.
