My kids have never seen me scream at anybody. They've never seen an argument. There's never been even a cold silence. And those are things that I grew up with because my parents did end up divorcing.

I'm not a screamer. I'm confrontational, but I don't think that translates into anger.

In a perfect world, probably we'd never yell, we'd just be firm and dispassionate. But of course, everyone yells at their children.

I never yell or scream. I mean, definitely not at work. I never yell at anyone I work with.

My father was often angry when I was most like him.

My mom says I was born screaming.

Sometimes when a scene is written or directed to be shouted or played incredibly angrily, I always think it's way more terrifying when someone is fuming and talks in a very calm way. I always want people to shout at me if they're angry - it freaks me out that whole thing of, 'I'm not angry I'm just disappointed.'

I would never scream at my kids, never raise my voice. But as they often tell me, they were so well behaved that screaming was not necessary.

My parents are always a great litmus test. Based on the amount of shrieks my mother gives when we're out in public, her constant shock when somebody comes up and says something nice.
