I talk to my parents more than anybody in my family.

I'll be 50 years old and still have to call my mom when I'm home at night. No matter what time, she doesn't sleep until I do!

We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me, I just followed my parents around on their errands; when they were busy on the phone, I was quiet. It's a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house, and you listen to their music, and you go to their appointments.

If my children call me during the day and leave a message, I return those calls first, not last.

I grew up where my parents would literally shove me in the car rather than have to say hello to a neighbor.

My parents went crazy when they found out that I had gotten the part in 'Conversations With My Father!' I'd never given acting a thought. They were proud of me and very encouraging.

I don't really say too much to my parents. If they ask me to do something I just do it and get it out of the way.

I'm oftentimes called away from my family... it's rather hard for me to be away from them. We're very close.

Seven years after my mother's passing, I still reach for the phone for a split second to call her. We spoke every day.
