Sometimes you can't prioritise family and you feel guilty.

I think that people with differing points of view find common ground in 'Modern Family' is very flattering, and I'm appreciative of that.

Sometimes it makes me sad that I didn't get to have one family for my entire life.

I didn't feel I belonged in so perfect a family.

I love my family, even as I critique their dysfunctionalities.

Family is at the heart of everything I do.

I love 'Modern Family;' I don't exactly watch it when it's on, but I try to catch up on it when I can; it's one of my favorite shows.

As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.

I do feel guilty. I do. Especially about my family, my children. I write about them, and I know that this will haunt them as well through their lives. Why did I do that to them?

Because I didn't have brothers, I was always interested in the kids down the street that had four brothers in their family, so I became one of them - but it was not my family. I've always been attracted to temporary families. They tend to be lost characters.
