I have always liked family-type dramas; I just think the dynamics in families make for some really interesting characters.

Family tends to be one of the recurring themes in my fiction.

I've been lucky enough to play many different roles from darker characters to family orientated shows to comedy.

I don't understand that, because I think that what people like most about the show is that they recognize themselves in the characters and their problems, so the more believable the family is, the more we can draw the audience in.

My years on 'Family Matters' were precious to me. During the run of the show, I saw many births, deaths, weddings... The actual family on the show became my family.

I always try to make each character my own.

Family is at the heart of everything I do.

A lot of times characters are combinations of people I come across in life. I people-watch a lot.

To me, families are fascinating. I choose to explore it through comedy and through comic situations.
